US doubles import tax on Vietnamese cement

06 August 2025

US: The government has imposed a 20% import tax on cement from Vietnam, effective from 1 August 2025, doubling the previous 10% rate, according to the Vietnam Cement Association. It said that the move would have a significant impact on cement exporters, as Vietnam is the second largest cement supplier to the US, after Türkiye. It also said that the higher tariffs would now lead to costs being passed on to consumers, with increasing cement prices in the US expected.

Government issues update on idle cement plant project in North Vietnam

28 July 2025

Vietnam: Local authorities have stated that a US$196m cement plant project in the northern Ninh Binh province has remained abandoned for 18 years. The 1.1Mt/yr Phu Son Cement Plant was launched in 2007 with plans to begin operations by 2011. Construction was halted in 2012 and never resumed, according to the Việt Nam News newspaper. The investor, Phu Son Cement JSC, chaired by a Czech national of Vietnamese origin, has not responded to government efforts since promising to restart work in 2017.

Authorities say that they have been unable to reclaim the 40-hectare site due to assets built on the land and the absence of a legal representative. Despite multiple attempts by provincial officials and ministries to resolve the matter, the project remains in limbo.

Taiwan imposes anti-dumping duties on Vietnamese cement

23 July 2025

Taiwan: The Customs Administration has imposed five-year anti-dumping duties on Portland cement and clinker imported from Vietnam, according to the Taipei Times. Cement imported from Long Son and affiliate Long Son Industrials faces a 14% tariff, Thang Long Cement will be taxed at 19%, while Vissai Ninh Binh, Xuan Thanh Cement and Vicem Ha Tien Cement will be subject to a 15% rate. All other Vietnam-based producers and exporters will be taxed at 23%.

The Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Economic Affairs confirmed that companies had dumped cement and ‘caused substantial harm’ to local producers in a statement. The Ministry also found no sufficient evidence that the duties would have a markedly negative effect on Vietnam’s ‘overall economic situation.’

An investigation into dumping of cement from Vietnam began in August 2024 after the Taiwan Cement Industry Association applied for anti-dumping duties, citing suspected dumping and harm to domestic industries.

Vicem returns to profit in first half of 2025

07 July 2025

Vietnam: Vietnam Cement Industry Corporation (Vicem) recorded a consolidated after-tax profit of US$1.3m in the first half of 2025, following two consecutive years of losses, according to The Investor magazine. Clinker production reached 7.96Mt, up by 6.5% year-on-year, while cement exports totalled 0.71Mt. Looking ahead to the rest of 2025, Vicem expects domestic cement consumption to grow in the second half of 2025 due to increased public investment in infrastructure and recovering real estate supply, despite challenges from rain and storms in the northern and central regions, which could potentially affect demand. In addition, the industry continues to face challenges such as oversupply, price competition and changing customer preferences.

Vicem chair Nguyen Quoc Viet said that the company will focus on maintaining profitability by optimising clinker operations, enhancing efficiency and securing raw material supplies by securing a license and approval for mining exploration. It will also reportedly invest in technology upgrades and accelerate waste heat recovery power projects to reduce energy costs and CO₂ emissions.

Vicem manages 10 plants, housing 16 production lines, with an annual capacity of 20Mt/yr of clinker and 27Mt/yr of cement. It was the only one of six firms under the Ministry of Construction to report a loss in 2024, when it recorded a consolidated loss of US$55.15m.

Vietnam to allocate emission quotas to cement plants by end of 2025

12 June 2025

Vietnam: The government will allocate greenhouse gas emission quotas to cement and steel plants and thermal power facilities by 31 December 2025, following a new decree issued on 9 June 2025, which takes effect on 1 August 2025. These facilities will receive quotas during the 2025–2026 period. The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, in coordination with the ministries of industry and trade and construction, will lead the pilot proposal process and submit total allowable emissions to the prime minister for approval. Quotas for each plant must be finalised by the end of 2025. From 2027, ministries will propose lists of facilities and quotas for 2027–2028 and 2029–2030, with submissions due by 30 June of the first year of each period. The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment will allocate quotas by 31 October annually once approved.

Quotas will be based on emission intensity per unit of product, industry growth targets and each facility’s potential to reduce emissions. Facilities may trade quotas and carbon credits on the national market. The decree also revises rules on trading, borrowing, transferring and surrendering quotas. Facilities must surrender quotas equal to verified emissions, minus carbon credit offsets, by 31 December following each compliance period. Penalties and future deductions will apply to those who fail.
