Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Dumping Margin Raised to $0.20/kg
The Department of Commerce amended the antidumping duty margin for Can Tho Import Export Seafood (CASEAMEX) and four separate-rate companies (Cafatex; Hung Vuong Corporation (HVG); International Development and Investment Corporation (IDI); and Loc Kim Chi Seafood) to $0.20 per kilogram. This amendment applies to the administrative review covering August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022 and is applicable September 14, 2026.
Revised Cash Deposits for Four Exporters
Commerce will apply a revised cash deposit requirement of $0.20 per kilogram to imports from Cafatex, HVG, IDI, and Loc Kim because their cash deposit rates have not been superseded. Commerce will issue revised cash deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection; CASEAMEX will not receive revised cash deposit instructions because its cash deposit rate was superseded in a later review. This action is applicable September 14, 2026.
Suspended Entries May Face $0.20/kg Duty
Entries of subject fish fillets exported by CASEAMEX, Cafatex, HVG, IDI, or Loc Kim that were entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption during August 1, 2021 through July 31, 2022 remain enjoined from liquidation by court order. If the Court of International Trade ruling is not appealed or is upheld on appeal, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on those unliquidated entries at $0.20 per kilogram.

This means no extra duties for Haur Tyi right now, and the review process is moving forward with some deadlines adjusted due to a government shutdown.
