On October 22, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) announced the final results of its countervailing duty (CVD) investigation on frozen warm-water shrimp from Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. The DOC set a CVD rate of 2.84% for Vietnam's shrimp industry.
Following the DOC's announcement, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) will issue its final ruling on December 5, 2024. If the ITC delivers a final decision, the order will be issued on December 12, 2024.
Sao Ta assesses that the 2.84% CVD rate will officially pose a significant barrier for Vietnam's shrimp industry in this market. If the ITC concludes that the subsidies do not significantly affect the U.S. shrimp industry, the case will be dismissed.
"This “judgment day” is of critical importance for shrimp businesses exporting to this market. When planning their 2024 business strategies, shrimp companies likely did not anticipate the complexity of this case. Clearly, the mandatory tax payment will significantly impact their performance. FIMEX is also highly concerned and eagerly awaiting this “judgment day”. Because if the ruling is favorable, FIMEX expects to recover no less than VND 40 billion from its tax reserves, which would positively contribute to achieving its 2024 business goals," Sao Ta stated.
