Vietnamese Frozen Shrimp Faces U.S. Dumping Duty Review
Published Date: 5/13/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Vietnamese shrimp sellers sold their frozen shrimp at unfairly low prices during 2024-2025. They’re reviewing two main companies closely and dropping the review for some others who didn’t sell shrimp in that time. This could affect import duties and how much money these companies pay when selling shrimp in the U.S.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 1 mixed.
Vietnam-Wide Rate Remains 25.76%
Commerce preliminarily is treating 132 companies as part of the Vietnam‑wide entity, whose antidumping rate remains 25.76% and is not under review because no party requested a review of that entity. Entries produced or exported by companies in the Vietnam‑wide entity remain subject to a 25.76% ad valorem rate.
Preliminary Dumping Margins Set
For the period February 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025, Commerce preliminarily found dumping margins of 10.76% for the Fimex Group, 6.30% for STAPIMEX, and assigned a 7.56% weighted-average rate to non‑examined companies receiving a separate rate. These are the estimated ad valorem dumping margins Commerce will consider in this administrative review.
Cash Deposit Rules for Shipments
When imposed, cash deposit requirements for shipments entered on or after the publication date of the final results will be: (1) exporters listed in the final results pay the final weighted‑average dumping margins; (2) previously‑examined exporters keep their existing exporter‑specific cash deposit rate; (3) non‑Vietnamese exporters without a separate rate pay the rate of their Vietnamese supplier; and (4) Vietnamese exporters without a separate rate pay the Vietnam‑wide rate of 25.76% ad valorem.
Importer Reimbursement Certificate Rule
Importers must file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries for this review period, per 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If an importer fails to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties or increase duties by the amount of any countervailing duties.
Review Rescinded For Eight Exporters
Commerce is rescinding this administrative review, in part, for eight companies that had no reviewable, suspended entries during the period February 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025. For those companies, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries at rates equal to the cash deposit required at the time of entry; rescission instructions will be issued no earlier than 35 days after publication of the notice.
