According to ITC, in the first five months of this year, shrimp imports into the Philippines reached US$7.7 million; up 5.7% over the same period in 2016. Vietnam stayed as the largest supplier of shrimp to the market; accounting for 58.3% of total shrimp imports into this country.

In the period, the Philippines increased imports from Vietnam and Thailand while decreasing those from other suppliers.

The Philippines is a potential importing market of Vietnam shrimp thanks to the preferential tax rate of 0%.

The ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), in which the Philippines is a member, was established by the end of 2015 to help create a common market without barriers to goods and goods in ASEAN member countries will be subject to the same duty. This supports trade between Vietnam and the Philippines.
