The ninth antidumping duty administrative reviews (POR9) set anti-dumping tax imposed to Vietnam pangasius companies. Vinh Hoan Corporation – one of the two mandatory respondents – reduced antidumping tax from US$0.03 per kilogram to zero. The anti-dumping tax on pangasius products of other defendants increased over tax rates announced on 31/03/2014, from US$0.42/kg to US$1.20/kg. The anti-dumping tax on pangasius products of Hung Vuong Corporation, the mandatory respondent, was kept at US$1.20 per kilogram. Vietnam-wide rate is US$2.11 per kilogram.
The Department of Commerce (DOC) announced its decision to set a preliminary adjustment on the duty imposed on certain frozen pangasius fillets imported from Vietnam in its the tenth antidumping duty administrative reviews (POR10) from August 1, 2012 to July 31, 2013. Accordingly, despite lower duty rate, it still caused obstacles to Vietnamese pangasius exporters. DOC decided to increase Vietnam-wide tax rate from US$ 2.11/ kg to US$ 2.39 / kg.
The new duties in POR10 won’t be in effect until the final determination is issued. Therefore, the decrease in pangasius exports to the United States is mainly caused by POR9.
