In international trade, trade remedies (TR) is a term used to refer to three measures: anti-dumping, countervailing, and safeguard. These are tools that the World Trade Organization (WTO) allows importing markets to use to protect themselves from unfairly competitive or surging imports that cause damage to the domestic industry.

With increasing capacity and export turnover, Vietnamese exports are facing a growing number of trade remedy investigations in export markets. Effective response and defense in these cases are crucial for exporting businesses to protect their interests, minimize losses, and continue sustainable exports in the relevant markets.

The Handbook on Trade Remedies in the European Union (EU) is written in the context that the European Union (EU) is one of the leading important export markets of Vietnam. This region is also among the top 5 most frequent users of trade remedy measures within the WTO. This handbook is part of the VCCI's series of handbooks on trade remedies in foreign markets, compiled to introduce the most basic and essential content regarding the conditions, order, procedures, and issues to be noted in trade remedy investigations in the EU.

It is hoped that this Handbook will be a useful reference guide for businesses exporting goods to the EU to prepare for trade remedy risks in this market.
