VietNamNet Bridge – The US biggest importers have begun seeking goods supply sources from Vietnam, while the negotiations for the Trans Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP) are being conducted.

Being one of the five biggest garment suppliers in the world, Vietnam’s garment export turnover only accounts for 4-5 percent of the global market share. In the US, the biggest export market, Vietnam hold 8 percent of the market share.

While Vietnamese products flood the supermarkets owned by Vietnamese or Chinese, they rarely can be seen at the US owned hypermarkets, or they are available there under the others’ names.

The recent decision of the US Department of Commerce (DOC) to choose Indonesia as the sole benchmark country to calculate the anti-dumping rate on frozen tra fish fillets imported from Viet Nam is not fair and objective.
