As a result, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MoIT) has requested the US to review its decision and reduce the tax rates on Vietnam's exporters in compliance with WTO regulations and with fairness for all related parties.
MoIT has been closely working with the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) and local pangasius exporters to exchange information and give US authorities feedback on this issue. Throughout the reviewing process, Vietnamese producers have put in a lot of effort to provide DOC with accurate information but it decided to use adverse facts available (AFA) to determine the final tax rates.
