US finalises anti-dumping duties on Vietnamese shrimp
VOV.VN - The US Department of Commerce (DOC) has issued its final results in the 20th administrative review of the anti-dumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam, setting dumping margins of 6.36% and 10.71% for the two mandatory respondents and a separate rate of 7.59% for 27 other exporters.
According to Vietnam’s Trade Remedies Authority under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the DOC announced its final results on November 3 (US time). The review covers imports entering the United States from February 1, 2024 to January 31, 2025.
The final weighted-average dumping margins for the two mandatory respondents are 6.36% and 10.71%, compared with preliminary rates of 6.30% and 10.76%, respectively.
The DOC also assigned a separate rate of 7.59% to 27 companies, calculated as the weighted average of the margins determined for the two mandatory respondents. This is slightly higher than the preliminary rate of 7.56%.
For 131 companies classified as part of the Vietnam-wide entity, the rate remains unchanged at 25.76%. This is because no interested party requested an administrative review of that entity. Consequently, the 20th administrative review's final results do not alter the rate applicable to these companies.
The adjustments to the final results were made after the DOC considered comments from interested parties and revised certain aspects of its calculations compared with the preliminary results.
Following publication of the final results in the US Federal Register, the DOC will instruct US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess and collect anti-dumping duties on the relevant entries covered by the review, in accordance with applicable regulations.
The Trade Remedies Authority has advised Vietnamese shrimp producers and exporters to review the rates applicable to their companies and work closely with US importers to monitor publication of the final results, assessment instructions and cash deposit requirements.
Businesses have also been urged to review, standardise and retain complete production, business and export records, particularly information on input materials, production factors and chemicals used in manufacturing, in preparation for future administrative reviews.
They should also allocate sufficient resources and maintain close coordination with the Trade Remedies Authority in subsequent reviews, ensuring that information submitted to the DOC is complete, accurate, consistent and timely to reduce the risk of the agency applying adverse facts available (AFA).
