The DOC announced that the zero percent tariff will be applied to the two mandatory respondents in the review, Sao Ta Foods JSC and Nha Trang Seaproduct Company. The other 29 enterprises shipping shrimp to the US will be subject to the same rate. The DOC in a preliminary finding concluded that the two mandatory respondents did not dump their shrimp products on the US market.

According to Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), Vietnam earned nearly 330 million USD from shrimp exports to the US in the past seven months, a year-on-year rise of 5 percent.
