HÀ NỘI — The Trade Remedies Authority of Việt Nam reported that the US Department of Commerce (DOC) has lowered anti-dumping duties on frozen tra fish (pangasius) fillets from Việt Nam in the 15th period of review (POR15).

This is the DOC’s preliminary conclusion after investigating tra fish exported by certain Vietnamese companies for the period August 1, 2017 through July 31 last year, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MOIT) said in a statement.

The DOC determined that Vietnamese mandatory respondent – NTSF Seafoods JSC – and separate rate respondent – Cần Thơ Import Export Seafood JSC (CASEAMEX) – were both subject to rates of US$0.00 per kg while a “Việt Nam-wide entity” anti-dumping rate of $2.39 per kilogramme was applied to all other Vietnamese exporters.

Last year, under the final result of the 14th period of review (POR14), a final rate of $3.87 per kilogramme was imposed on Hùng Vương Group while the rate was $1.37 per kilogramme for NTSF, CP Vietnam Corporation, Cửu Long Fish JSC, Green Farms Seafood JSC and Vinh Quang Fisheries Corporation.

The department would issue the final results of the POR15 within 120 days of publication of its preliminary rates and this is likely to happen around February next year, the MOIT said.

The MOIT advised local exporters to continue cooperating with the DOC and the ministry to ensure positive final results. 

Meanwhile, the ministry would continue to coordinate with other ministries, sectors, the Việt Nam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers and related export companies to take necessary actions to protect the rights and interests of the domestic tra fish industry.

Vietnamese tra fish has been subject to the US’s antidumping duty since 2003. Last year, Việt Nam exported $550 million worth of tra fish to the US, the country’s second largest market.
