Thai Shrimp Sellers Hit with Duties: 158 Skip the Review
Published Date: 5/14/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some shrimp sellers from Thailand sold their frozen shrimp at unfairly low prices between February 2024 and January 2025. They also discovered that 158 companies didn’t ship any shrimp during this time, so those companies won’t be reviewed. This means some importers might face extra duties soon, starting May 14, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 1 mixed.
Preliminary Dumping Marges Announced
Commerce preliminarily found dumping for the review period February 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025. It preliminarily assigned Thai Union Group a dumping margin of 1.76 percent, Thai Royal Frozen Foods 0.00 percent, and companies not selected for individual review a rate of 1.76 percent. These preliminary margins are part of the results published May 14, 2026 and could form the basis for future duties if finalized.
Rescission for 158 Companies
Commerce is rescinding, in part, the administrative review for 158 companies listed in Appendix II because there were no suspended entries of subject shrimp during February 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025. For those companies, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties at the cash deposit rate that applied at the time of entry, and Commerce intends to issue rescission instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results.
Cash Deposit Rules and All‑Others Rate
When Commerce publishes final results, cash deposit rates for antidumping duties will apply to shipments entered on or after the publication date. Cash deposit rates will equal the weighted-average dumping margin from the final results unless the rate is less than 0.50 percent, in which case the deposit rate will be zero. For exporters/producers not covered in the review, the all‑others rate remains 5.34 percent (the Section 129 Determination).
Importer Certificate and Double‑Duty Risk
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties before liquidation, as required by 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If an importer fails to file this certificate, Commerce may presume the importer was reimbursed and assess double antidumping duties. This notice serves as a reminder of that responsibility.
No-Shipment Claims Kept In Review
Three respondents — the Rubicon Group, Marine Gold Products Ltd., and Thai Union Manufacturing Co., Ltd. — filed statements saying they made no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during the period February 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025. Commerce preliminarily found no record evidence contradicting those claims and is keeping these companies in the review for purposes of the preliminary results; Commerce will complete the review and issue CBP instructions based on the final results.
