Vietnam Frozen Shrimp: Prelim CV Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect

A countervailing duty cash deposit requirement will take effect June 4 for imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam (C-552-815), after the Commerce Department found illegal subsidization of Vietnamese producers in its preliminary determination. The agency assigned CV duty cash deposit rates of 5.08 to 7.05 percent. Vietnamese frozen shrimp has been subject to antidumping duties since 2005. CBP will implement these CV cash deposit requirements soon.
