Vietnam’s shrimp shipments to the U.S in the first half of this year tended to go down due to an increase in anti-dumping duties in the preliminary decision of DOC’s 11th administrative review (POR11)
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) data, in 2016, the U.S imported 605,711 MT of shrimp, worth by US$5.7 billion; increasing by 3% in volume and 4% in value compared to 2015. In the first six months of 2017, the U.S continued to increase imports of shrimp with the volume of 287,255 MT, worth by US$2.8 billion; up 9% in volume and 15% in value year on year.
Most of shrimp products imported into the U.S were frozen raw shrimp meat (HS code 0306170040). India was the largest supplier of this item to the market, followed by Indonesia and Vietnam.
Imports of processed frozen shrimp meat (HS code 1605211030) took up the second largest share to the U.S. Thailand was the biggest supplier, followed by Vietnam and Indonesia.
In the first half of 2017, Vietnam claimed as the 5th rank in top leading suppliers of shrimp to the U.S, representing 9%; behind India (30.5%), Indonesia (20.5%), Thailand (11.5%) and Ecuador (10.8%).
Vietnam, India, Thailand, Indonesia and Ecuador were the main exporters of shrimp to the U.S in the first months of this year and most countries were subject to anti-dumping duties. However, Vietnam shrimp had to compete strongly with other suppliers due to high anti-dumping duty that the U.S imposed on Vietnam shrimp.
In spite of high anti-dumping tax, however, thanks to a rise in U.S’ shrimp demand in the second half of this year, Vietnam’s shrimp exports to the market expected to go up over the same period last year.
