This is good news for the Vietnamese shrimp industry as the 0% tariff will surely boost export volume. The US Department of Commerce (DoC) has recently announced the preliminary results of the 13th period of review (POR 13), reviewing the anti-dumping tariff on Vietnamese warm-water shrimp exported to the US in the period from February 1, 2017, to January 31, 2018.
This is the best result after 13 review periods. The DoC concluded that the frozen shrimp products of the two mandatory respondents in the review, Sao Ta Foods JSC (Fimex VN) and Nha Trang Seaproduct Company, did not violate anti-dumping regulations in this period. Therefore, preliminary tariffs on those two companies and other 29 local shrimp exporters will stand at zero percent.
