Thailand and four other countries will be subjected to anti-dumping tariffs on shrimp exports to the United States.
The US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced on May 29 that it will impose anti-subsidy tariffs of nearly 63 per cent on frozen shrimp imported from China, India, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam.
Under the preliminary decision, it will impose the 2.09 per cent countervailing duties on products imported from Thailand, from China (5.76 per cent), from Vietnam (7.05 per cent), from India (11.32 per cent) and from Malaysia (62.74 per cent).
In 2012, five Asian countries exported around 258,000 tonnes of frozen shrimp worth US$2.3 billion to the US.
