Per CBP’s reporting, over the last eleven years, roughly $268 million in antidumping duties have been distributed to the shrimp industry through CDSOA. The total amount of duties collected on shrimp imports and distributed through CDSOA is summarized in the chart below:
Antidumping duties collected on imports of shrimp entered into the country before October 1, 2007 are distributed through the CDSOA program. Funds will continue to be distributed, in diminishing amounts, under the CDSOA program until all litigation regarding those shrimp import entries is resolved and final duties are assessed and collected by CBP.
