DOC determined that Thong Thuan Company (including Thong Thuan Cam Ranh) did not dump, with a dumping margin of 0%.
Meanwhile, STAPIMEX Company was imposed a preliminary tax rate of up to 35.29%. This tax rate was also applied to 22 other enterprises in the group eligible for separate tax rates but not subject to mandatory inspection, instead of applying the weighted average tax rate from two mandatory respondents as usual.
The Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) and related businesses were very surprised and deeply concerned about this unusually high preliminary tax rate. During the 19 years that Vietnam participated in the administrative reviews of the shrimp anti-dumping lawsuit in the United States, no business had ever been subject to a double-digit preliminary tax rate.
Previously, in POR12, DOC also imposed a preliminary tax rate of 25.76% on FIMEX Company due to a calculation error and then adjusted it to 4.58% in the final result.
Although the preliminary results are not yet effective and may be adjusted in the final results (expected to be announced in December 2025), this information has been negatively affecting the psychology of US importers, affecting purchasing plans, export orders and, more worryingly, affecting the psychology and operations of shrimp farmers in Vietnam.
In 2025, in the context of the Trump administration initiating a policy of imposing high reciprocal tariffs on many countries, including Vietnam, the current unusual preliminary tax rate will further aggravate the challenges that the Vietnamese shrimp industry is facing when accessing the US market.
