The Department of Commerce has ended an investigation into possible duty circumvention, but the issue of trade remedy evasion through third countries remains in focus.

The US Department of Commerce (DOC) has issued a final conclusion on the third and final review of anti-dumping duties on warm water shrimp imported from China, India, Thailand, and Vietnam. For Vietnam, the DOC relied on national tax rates to determine whether dumping is likely to continue. It decided to maintain the order imposing anti-dumping duties on warm water shrimp from the four countries.
