Indonesia Clears Anti-Dumping Duties on Vietnamese Galvalume & Color-Coated Steel (2026 Update): Key B2B Procurement Insights
Indonesia’s Anti-Dumping Committee (KADI) has officially maintained a 0% Anti-Dumping (AD) duty rate on imports of Galvalume (Cold Rolled Coated Steel Sheets) and Color-Coated Steel Sheets originating from fully cooperative Vietnamese steel manufacturers.
Following detailed trade defense proceedings and Sunset Reviews, Vietnamese exporters successfully demonstrated non-injurious margins under WTO and KADI frameworks. This outcome secures a critical price-competitiveness advantage for Vietnamese coated steel across ASEAN procurement channels, allowing EPC contractors and industrial buyers to source tariff-free, factory-certified materials.
Indonesia KADI Anti-Dumping Duty Rulings Matrix: Galvalume & Color-Coated Steel
The final rulings by KADI eliminate substantial tariff risks for compliant supply chains originating from Vietnam compared to historical proposed margins and high-duty exporting nations.
| Product Category | Trade Remedy Status | Historical / Proposed AD Duty | Official Current AD Duty Rate | Strategic Impact for B2B Procurement |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galvalume / Cold Rolled Coated Steel Sheets | Final Determination | Proposed 3.01% – 49.20% | 0.00% (Duty-Free) | Eliminates margin erosion; enables long-term price certainty for EPC structural projects. |
| Color-Coated Steel Sheets (PPGI / PPGL) | Expiry / Sunset Review | Applied 12.01% – 28.49% (2018–2023) | 0.00% (Expired / Terminated) | Restores full export parity; nullifies legacy trade penalties. |
Key Market Insights & B2B Procurement Advantages
- Substantial Price Competitiveness over High-Duty Origins: Receiving a 0% AD duty rate allows major Vietnamese coated steel producers (Hoa Sen Group, Nam Kim Steel, Ton Dong A) to offer significantly more competitive landed costs in Indonesia compared to regional competitors facing severe trade remedy tariffs.
- Mitigation of Project Cost Overruns: EPC contractors, engineering fabricators, and commercial buyers can secure long-term fixed-price delivery contracts without hedging against unexpected anti-dumping surcharges at Indonesian import ports.
- Validation of Transparent Trade & Accounting Practices: The 0% ruling highlights the strategic necessity of full accounting transparency and active participation with international investigative bodies (KADI/WTO), protecting compliant mills and their B2B distribution partners from Adverse Facts Available (AFA) penalties.
Technical Standards & Quality Assurance Checklist
When importing or sourcing Vietnamese Galvalume and Color-Coated Steel for regional industrial projects, engineering teams and procurement directors must mandate full technical documentation:
Galvalume Specifications
Verify strict compliance with ASTM A792 / A792M (AZ50 to AZ150 coating mass) or JIS G3321 (SGLCC/SGLCH) structural standards.
Color-Coated Steel Specifications
Ensure paint system integrity adhering to JIS G3312 (CGCC) or ASTM A755 standards, specifying top/bottom dry film thickness (DFT) and substrate specifications.
Mill Test Certificate (MTC) & CO/CQ Verification
Require direct, unedited Certificate of Origin (Form D / ASEAN) and factory-issued MTCs referencing heat numbers, chemical composition, and mechanical test results to guarantee full material traceability.
