Thai frozen shrimp: final U.S. dumping rates for 2024–2025
Commerce's final antidumping review of certain frozen warmwater shrimp from Thailand, covering February 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025, sets a 1.76% margin for the Thai Union Group single entity, 0.00% for Thai Royal Frozen Foods Co., Ltd. and a 1.76% review-specific rate for the 15 companies that were not individually examined. The Rubicon Group, Marine Gold Products Ltd. and Thai Union Manufacturing Company Limited had no shipments. From October 6, 2026, cash deposits follow these rates; all other producers and exporters keep the 5.34% all-others rate.
What changed
Commerce published the preliminary results on May 14, 2026, extended the final deadline to October 1, 2026, and made no changes to the calculations for Thai Union, Thai Royal or the non-selected companies; the two comments addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum concern a level-of-trade adjustment or constructed export price offset for Thai Union and the two-percent threshold of the price difference test.
The Thai Union entity includes Thai Union Seafood, Pakfood, Asia Pacific (Thailand), Chaophraya Cold Storage and Takzin Samut.
Because Thai Royal's margin is zero, the non-selected rate rests on Thai Union's 1.76%. For the review period, CBP assesses duties using importer-specific rates; entries of a company with a zero or de minimis margin, or an importer with a de minimis rate, are liquidated without antidumping duties.
Entries that Thai Royal or Thai Union did not know were bound for the United States are liquidated at the 5.34% all-others rate from the Section 129 determination if the intermediary has no rate. Assessment instructions come no earlier than 35 days after publication.
Importers must file the reimbursement certificate under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) before liquidation or risk a double assessment.
What an import team should check
- Match each Thai shrimp supplier to the final table: the Thai Union entity and the 15 Appendix II companies at 1.76%, Thai Royal at 0.00%, and the three no-shipment companies whose entries follow CBP's instructions.
- Set cash deposits at these rates for shipments entered for consumption from October 6, 2026, and keep 5.34% for any Thai producer or exporter without a company-specific rate.
- For 2024–2025 entries still unliquidated, ask your broker which importer-specific assessment rate applies and file the reimbursement certificate before liquidation.
- If an intermediary or reseller sits between you and Thai Union or Thai Royal, check whether the 5.34% automatic-assessment rate will apply to those entries.
