Last updated: July 2026 dataEcuador has emerged as the leading US supplier of frozen warm-water shrimp, reflecting that country's rapid aquaculture expansion, with India, Indonesia, and Vietnam also major sources. The US schedule for this heading is exceptionally granular, subdividing by shell-on count per kilogram (from under 33/kg to over 154/kg), farmed versus wild-caught status, and peeled versus shell-on presentation — each combination potentially occupying a distinct 10-digit line — making accurate count-size and processing documentation critical at entry. Antidumping duty orders have historically covered frozen shrimp from several major supplier countries, so importers must verify current order scope and deposit rates before contracting.

The Department of Commerce has maintained antidumping duty orders on frozen warm-water shrimp from multiple countries over many years, with annual administrative reviews that can change deposit rates significantly. Importers should check the current scope of each order and the most recent review results before contracting, as rates vary by producer and exporter. Working with a licensed customs broker to obtain a scope ruling is advisable when the product's coverage is uncertain.
The farmed/wild distinction affects the applicable 10-digit HTS line and can influence antidumping duty scope determinations. CBP expects supporting documentation such as aquaculture certificates, harvest records, or supplier affidavits attesting to the production method. The FDA also requires country-of-origin labeling and may conduct admissibility review of imported seafood; importers should ensure HACCP documentation from the foreign processor is current and available for inspection.
