The investigating authority will examine steel exports from Vietnam between January 1, 2023 and March 31, 2024. The extent of the damage will be assessed over the periods from 2020 to 2023.

Within 15 days of issuing the initiation notice, relevant parties may submit comments on the goods under investigation and propose Product Control Number (PCN) for India to consider.
