DOC Considers Higher Shrimp Duties for Vietnam, Thailand, India

The United States Department of Commerce (DOC) has announced preliminary results in the administrative proceedings determining antidumping duties assessed on shrimp imports from Vietnam, Thailand and India that entered the United States between February 1, 2012 and January 31, 2013. This primarily results from the DOC’s use of a new calculation methodology called “differential pricing.”

 

Differential pricing allows the DOC to measure differences in prices among various consumers, regions, and time periods, and in many cases, that results in higher duties.
