Pangasius 26 Q&A 00:00 01/01/1900

¹ General information of the case

-    Starting date: 28th June 2002

-    Product: pangasius HS-code 1604.19.4000, 1604.19.5000, 0305.59.4000, 0304.29.6033

-    On 12th August 2003, DOC announced antidumping tariff for Vietnamese pangasius at 36.84-63.88%.

-    There have been 10 periods of reviews (POR), the first Sunset Review in 2009 and the second Sunset Review in 2014.

-    International Trade Commission (ITC) voted that the revoke of tariffs would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the domestic catfish industry. The antidumping tariff is then continued to be applied.

¹ US regulations on Sunset Review

Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) of the US ruling that Department of Commerce (DOC) must lift an anti-dumping duty or countervailing duty after five years, unless DOC and ITC concluded that lifting of tariffs could lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping and injure the US domestic industry.

ITC will announce the reviews, requesting related parties to show possible damages when the antidumping tariff is lifted and other information. Normally within 95 days from the announcement, ITC will decide whether a full review is needed or not, basing on replies of related parties. A full review consists of a public hearing and questionnaire. Public hearing or additional investigation is not carried out in expedited reviews. ITC concludes on expedited review basing on the available data, including the previous conclusions on damgages and reviews of ITC, replies from related parties, related data collected by ITC and information from DOC.
