ITC to hold anti-dumping review
The US International Trade Commission (ITC) is now conducting a full review to determine whether to continue anti-dumping duties imposed from 2003-2008 on certain frozen fish fillets from Vietnam .
The review, according to the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Processors (VASEP), will determine whether revoking these tariffs would likely lead to a continuation or recurrence of material injury to US interests. Currently, anti-dumping tariffs for Vietnamese catfish exporters are set at an average of 64 percent.
The US Department of Commerce (DoC) is required by law to revoke an anti-dumping order or terminate a suspension agreement after five years, unless the DoC and the ITC determine that doing so would cause harm in the foreseeable future.
Interested parties in the US must provide the commission their responses to the likely effects of revoking the order under review.
In September, the DoC exempted three Vietnamese tra catfish export and processing companies from anti-dumping tariffs, because it found they had not devalued catfish to sell in the US during the period of August 2006 to July 2007.
These companies were Anvifish Company Ltd, QDV Food Company Ltd and Binh An Seafood Joint Stock Company.
