For businesses
Firstly, 
for dealing with trade remedies from other countries: 
To deal with the risk of being applied these measures, 
exporters need to: (i) Develop a diversification strategy 
Product diversification and export market diversification to 
spread risks, avoid concentrating exports in large volumes in 
one market as this may create grounds for countries to 
initiate anti-dumping lawsuits. Accordingly, businesses need 
to focus on big markets (China, Japan), emerging markets 
(Korea, Australia), new markets (Middle East, South 
Africa...). Besides. It is necessary to strengthen the 
exploitation of the domestic market. Raise awareness of the 
risk of lawsuits in export markets and the operating 
mechanism of each type of dispute, market group and 
commonly sued product category. Take into account the 
possibility of being sued when developing an export strategy 
so that you have a plan to proactively prevent and deal with 
it when it is not preventable. Coordinate and associate with 
enterprises with the same export products to have a common 
program and plan to deal with lawsuits; use consultants and 
lawyers in necessary situations; keep in touch with the state 
management agencies in charge of commerce so that they 
can better protect the interests of enterprises, including 
proposing to negotiate agreements with commitments not to 
apply, or to limit the apply safeguard measures to goods, 
express views on countries applying safeguard measures to 
Vietnamese goods, claim compensation for commercial 
interests when other countries apply safeguard measures. 
Second, 
regarding the response to technical measures of the 
importing country: Most of the technical measures in the 
markets are applied in a stable, regular and continuous 
manner. Goods from all sources must meet these conditions. 
Therefore, in principle, there are no preventive or 
countermeasures, but only compliance. Compliance with 
these measures requires important changes not only to 
finished goods for export, but also to the process of 
growing, exploiting raw materials, processing, packaging 
and transporting products. In fact, technical barriers are not 
simply related to technical standards, but also include many 
other issues such as ecological environment, social 
responsibility, origin of goods, etc. Therefore, for export 
goods, it is necessary to pay attention from the stage of raw 
materials to the creation of perfect finished products, 
qualified to sell abroad.
