Aug. 12 – Vietnam has introduced a new online warning system that will help local companies avoid anti-dumping cases being filed against their products.

The web site, www.earlywarning.vn, was funded by the Global Competitiveness Facility based in Denmark. Vietnamese exporters have been struggling with anti-dumping lawsuits against their products from the the United States and the European Union.

The online system concentrates on the country’s top export products, namely seafood, leather and footwear, garments and textiles, wooden products, and electrical wires and cables.

Last year, 205 anti-dumping cases were filed against Vietnamese products; amounting to 3,632 cases filed against the country since 1995.
