Inthe draft conclusions announced by the IndonesianAnti-Dumping Committee (KADI) on July 30, KADI said steelsheet imports from Vietnam were dumped into Indonesia, causing losses to thedomestic steel industry.
Upon hearing of the news, TRAV analysedKADI’s documents and discussed with firms with rights and interests concerned.
