US cuts anti-dumping tariffs on Vietnamese shrimp

Accordingly, 22 Vietnamese shrimp exporters will enjoy tariffs of 0.01 percent.

In response to the US Court of International Trade (CIT)’s decision, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) has agreed to adjust the level of anti-dumping tariffs on frozen shrimp imported from Vietnam between February 1, 2006 and January 31, 2007.

The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Processors (VASEP) said on May 16 that if there was no appeal against the CIT’s decision Doc would guide the US Customs and Border Protection to adjust anti-dumping tariffs as soon as possible.

Earlier, 29 Vietnamese shrimp exporters enjoyed a reduction in anti-dumping tariffs from 3.92 percent to 1.52 percent.
