Summary
The U.S. government decided to keep extra taxes on frozen fish fillets from Vietnam because stopping them could hurt American fish businesses.

Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.
Antidumping Duties Continue for Imports
If you import frozen basa/tra fillets from Vietnam, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect antidumping (AD) cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry. This continuation is applicable starting June 24, 2026.
Decision Protects U.S. Fish Industry
The Commerce Department and the U.S. International Trade Commission found that removing the order would likely cause dumping and material injury, so the order stays in place to help protect U.S. companies and jobs in the domestic fish fillet industry. The determination was published June 24, 2026.
Which Fish Products Are Covered or Excluded
The Order covers frozen fish fillets (regular, shank, strip) and portions of Pangasius species (basa/tra), including breaded or marinated forms, and identifies HTSUS subheadings such as 0304.62.0020 and several 1604.19.xxxx codes. Specifically excluded are frozen whole fish, frozen steaks, and frozen belly-flap nuggets.
