U.S. increasingly imposes regulations on Vietnam´s imports

Hanoi, Oct 5 (Prensa Latina) Until May, the United States was the country that made the most trade defense investigations against Vietnam, with over 55 cases, diplomatic sources revealed on Thursday. The intensification of protectionist measures by US authorities has caused several difficulties in the entry of national goods to that market, Do Ngoc Hung, head of the Vietnam Trade Office in the US, said.

The United States tends to increasingly apply regulations to hinder imports to protect domestic production, Ngoc Hung said in an interview with VNA. Such measures include strict technical barriers, frequent additional regulations, intensive investigations, and the imposition of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties, he pointed out.

Referring to Vietnam’s products under investigation, Ngoc Hung said they are diverse, ranging from leading export industries such as steel, wood, aquatic products, textiles, and tires to others with low sales volumes such as honey, lawn mowers, and woven bags.
