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Review Rescinded For Eight Exporters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.

The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Nan Ya Plastics sold PET film from Taiwan at unfairly low prices from July 2024 to June 2025.

The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep extra taxes on melamine imported from China because removing them could let unfair government help continue. This affects Chinese melamine exporters and U.S. manufacturers like Cornerstone Chemical, who benefit from these protections. The decision takes effect October 2, 2026, keeping the playing field fair and protecting American jobs.

The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some aluminum foil makers in Türkiye got unfair government help in 2023. Because of this, extra taxes (called countervailing duties) will apply to their products to keep things fair for U.S. businesses. These new rules started on October 2, 2026, and could affect prices and trade with Türkiye.
2026-20256, Common Alloy Aluminum Sheet From the People's Republic of China: Initiation of Circumvention Inquiry of the Antidumping Duty and Countervailing Duty Orders
The U.S. Department of Commerce is checking if certain aluminum panels made by Shanghai Alumetal in China are sneaking around existing import taxes on aluminum sheets. This means companies importing these panels might face new duties soon, starting October 2, 2026. If they’re found to be dodging the rules, importers could pay more, protecting U.S. aluminum makers from unfair competition.
2026-20258, Certain Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings From the People's Republic of China: Notice of Court Decision Not in Harmony With Final Covered Merchandise Determination and Notice of Amended Covered Merchandise Determination Pursuant to Court Decision; Correction
The U.S. Department of Commerce fixed a mix-up about certain unfinished carbon steel pipe fittings from China. These partly made fittings, even if finished later in Vietnam, are still covered by U.S. trade rules, and the government will pause money processing on past imports of these items. This affects importers and could impact payments and deadlines retroactively.
