The Vietnamese Commercial Office in Pakistan is warning that three Vietnamese products are likely to face anti-dumping lawsuits or other safeguard measures from Pakistan under WTO regulations.
Since natural rubber, chewing gum and car and motorbike inner tubes from Viet Nam now make up over 7% of Pakistan’s market share, up 30% from last year, Pakistan can have sufficient condition to launch anti-dumping investigations against the three said products according to WTO regulations, the Office said.
In the last ten months, Viet Nam, which joined the WTO last January, earned US$5.1 million from exports of rubber to Pakistan, an annual increase of 963 percent.
Car and motorbike inner tube exports earned US$429,620, up 242 percent, and chewing-gum US$143,756, up 700 percent.
