Thailand Shrimp Duties Get Minor Arithmetic Fix
Published Date: 6/8/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce fixed some math mistakes in the review of frozen shrimp from Thailand for 2023-2024. This update affects Thai Union and confirms no shipments from some companies, which could change the duties they pay. These changes take effect starting June 8, 2026, so importers and producers should pay attention to the new numbers and deadlines.
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
Pokphand Foods Duty Sharply Increased
Commerce revised the adverse facts available (AFA) dumping margin for Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Co., Ltd. to 26.66 percent for the period February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2024, up from 17.38 percent previously reported.
Reimbursement Certification Required — Doubled Duties Risk
This notice reminds importers of their obligation under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries during this review period. Failure to file the certificate may lead Commerce to presume reimbursement occurred and to assess doubled antidumping duties.
Cash Deposit Rates Effective Feb 20, 2026
For shipments of the subject shrimp entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after February 20, 2026 (the publication date of the Final Results), Commerce set cash deposit requirements equal to the amended weighted-average dumping margins established in these amended final results. The all-others cash deposit rate remains 5.34 percent.
Revised Dumping Rate: Thai Union 1.24%
Commerce amended the 2023–2024 review to correct ministerial errors and set Thai Union Group Public Co., Ltd.'s weighted-average dumping margin at 1.24 percent for the period February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2024. Commerce also revised the rate for companies not selected for individual examination from 2.01 percent to 1.24 percent.
No-Shipments Finding for Two Companies
Commerce determined that Phatthana Frozen Food Co., Ltd. and Thai Union Manufacturing Co., Ltd. did not ship subject merchandise to the United States during February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2024. Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate any suspended entries filed under their AD case numbers at the all-others rate if there is no rate for intermediate company(ies).
Timing for Duty Assessment and Possible Litigation Hold
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection no earlier than 35 days after publication of these amended final results. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to seek a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
