EU Imposes Tariffs on Certain Copper Tubes from Vietnam; Toàn Phát Faces 13.3% Rate
The EU’s provisional anti-dumping duties on certain imported copper tubes took effect on November 12, 2026. Vietnamese company Toàn Phát faces a 13.3% rate. The European Commission found that two Chinese-owned companies accounted for more than 90% of the products under investigation exported to the EU in 2025 by four cooperating companies in Vietnam.
On November 10, 2026, the European Commission issued an implementing regulation imposing provisional anti-dumping duties on certain copper tubes from Vietnam, China, Mexico and Uzbekistan. The regulation was published on November 11 and took effect on November 12. It covers refined copper tubes wound in flat coils, with smooth surfaces or internal grooves, primarily used in air conditioning, ventilation and refrigeration systems; the duties do not apply to all copper tubes.
Among companies in Vietnam, Hailiang (Vietnam) Copper Manufacturing Co., Ltd faces a 12.3% duty, while Jintian Copper Industrial Company Limited faces a 13.8% duty. Công ty Cổ phần Ống đồng Toàn Phát and LS Metal Vina, which cooperated with the investigation but were not selected for the sample, both face a 13.3% duty; other companies in Vietnam face a 14.4% duty.
Of the four cooperating companies in Vietnam, the European Commission selected Hailiang, a subsidiary of Hailiang Group, and Jintian, a subsidiary of Jintian Group, for detailed investigation. The Commission said the two companies accounted for more than 90% of the copper tubes under investigation exported to the EU by the four companies in 2025. Toàn Phát argued that both sampled companies were Chinese-owned and operated factories in export processing zones in Vietnam, so the findings might not reflect its own operations. The European Commission declined to expand the sample, saying the two companies were the largest exporters and were representative.
Toàn Phát was founded by Bùi Quốc Chính, who started out repairing refrigeration equipment before gradually moving into copper tube manufacturing. He is now the company’s chairman. Established on April 4, 2006, with initial charter capital of VND 30 billion, the company opened its first factory in the Phố Nối A Industrial Park in Hưng Yên. It launched a second factory in 2017 and now has two factories in Hưng Yên; according to the company, their maximum annual capacity is about 40,000 tonnes.

Information published by the Hưng Yên provincial external information portal in early 2026 put Toàn Phát’s estimated 2025 revenue at VND 4.8 trillion, including VND 2.9 trillion from exports, or about 60.4% of total revenue. The company’s products have been sold in more than 50 countries.
