Published Date: 6/11/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Commerce Department found that some shrimp sellers from Thailand sold their frozen warmwater shrimp at unfairly low prices between February 2023 and January 2024. They also discovered that 175 companies didn’t ship any shrimp during this time, so the review for those companies is being canceled. This could affect import duties and how much money these companies might owe or save.

Preliminary Dumping Finding for Thai Shrimp

Review Rescinded for 175 No‑Shipment Firms
Commerce preliminarily determined that 175 companies had no shipments of the subject shrimp during February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2024 and is rescinding (canceling) the administrative review for those 175 companies. The review will not proceed for those companies for that period of review.
