HANOI—Vietnam has imposed an anti-dumping tax on some aluminum products from China, just months after a similar levy targeting steel items, as the Southeast Asian nation looks to rein in an ever-increasing trade deficit with its giant neighbor.

An investigation launched in January found that Chinese dumping activities had seriously hurt domestic producers of aluminum, with some having to suspend output, the Ministry of Industry and Trade said.
