The Department of Commerce has decided to partially rescind its review of an antidumping duty order on frozen warmwater shrimp from Thailand for the period between February 1, 2019, and January 31, 2020. The review was initially requested by several parties but most of them withdrew their requests, leading to the decision to cancel the review for many companies. However, the review will continue for Thai Union. The Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess duties accordingly and reminds importers of their responsibilities concerning antidumping duties.

The United States International Trade Commission (ITC) concluded that the U.S. industry is hurt by imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from Indonesia, which are sold in the U.S. at less than fair value, and by imports from Ecuador, India, and Vietnam, which are subsidized by their governments. The investigations began on October 25, 2023, based on petitions from the American Shrimp Processors Association. Commerce had preliminarily found that shrimp imports from these countries were either sold unfairly low (Indonesia) or subsidized (Ecuador, India, Vietnam). The ITC completed its determinations on December 12, 2024, as detailed in a publication titled Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-699-700 and 702 and 731-TA-1660 (Final).

The U.S. Department of Commerce, along with the International Trade Commission, has decided to impose antidumping duties on frozen warmwater shrimp imported from Indonesia. Additionally, they have issued countervailing duties on similar shrimp imported from Ecuador, India, and Vietnam. These actions are taken because these imports are being sold at less than fair value and are subsidized, which harms the U.S. shrimp industry. Orders are effective from specific dates, with measures to ensure compliance through customs and border protection enforcement.
