Five‑Year Review of Vietnam Fish Tariff
The U.S. International Trade Commission started a five‑year review on November 3, 2025, to decide whether to revoke the antidumping duty order on frozen fish fillets from Vietnam. The review explicitly says it affects importers, U.S. fish businesses (the domestic industry), and consumers; responses are due by December 31, 2025, and comments on adequacy may be filed by February 10, 2026.
Who Counts as 'Domestic Industry'
For this review the Commission defines the Domestic Like Product as frozen catfish fillets (plain, breaded, or marinated). The Commission defines the Domestic Industry as U.S. processing operations that produce those frozen catfish fillets and explicitly excludes catfish farming operations.
