U.S. Finalizes Dumping Duties on Indian Shrimp Imports for 2023–2024
Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes
On February 9, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce published the final results from its review of antidumping duties on frozen warmwater shrimp imports from India.
The review covered the period from February 1, 2023, through January 31, 2024.
The Commerce Department found that Indian shrimp exporters sold products in the U.S. at prices below normal value.
The mandatory respondents in this review were the Devi Group and Sandhya Aqua Exports Private Limited.
The Devi Group—which includes Devi Fisheries Limited, Satya Seafoods Private Limited, Usha Seafoods, and Devi Aquatech Private Limited—received a final dumping margin of 2.71%.
Sandhya Aqua Exports Private Limited received a final dumping margin of 5.08%.
Companies not individually examined in this review were assigned a review-specific rate of 3.76%.
This rate was calculated based on the weighted average of the margins for the Devi Group and Sandhya, as permitted under the law.
The Department made several changes from its preliminary findings after reviewing public comments.
Adjustments were made to the margins for both the Devi Group and Sandhya.
Commerce addressed comments from the American Shrimp Processors Association and other interested parties about market conditions and price calculations.
These issues and all related findings are documented in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, available on the Commerce Department’s online ACCESS system.
The review was delayed due to a government shutdown and system backlogs.
The final results were extended to January 28, 2026.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will assess duties on imports based on these final results.
For Devi and Sandhya, importer-specific assessment rates have been set.
Where those rates are less than 0.5%, CBP will not collect duties.
For exporters who were not directly reviewed, CBP will apply the review-specific rate of 3.76% to the applicable entries.
If producers sold their product through third parties without knowing it was destined for the U.S., CBP will assess duties based on the “all-others” rate from the original investigation.
The all-others cash deposit rate remains at 10.17%, unless otherwise specified.
Cash deposit rates for future entries will be based on this review’s final results.
These rates go into effect for goods entered on or after the publication date.
Parties involved in the case have been reminded to return or dispose of confidential information in line with Administrative Protective Order rules.
Importers are also reminded to file their certificates regarding reimbursement of duties, or face possible penalties.
The complete list of 99 companies not selected for individual review is provided in Appendix II of the notice.
These results are issued under Sections 751 and 777 of the Tariff Act of 1930.
The review was conducted by the International Trade Administration within the Department of Commerce.
