India Shrimp Tariff Act

This bill would raise U.S. import duties on shrimp from India in steps: a 10% general rate in 2026, 20% in 2027, and 40% from 2028 on. It would require Indian shrimp to be valued for customs purposes at no less than the average U.S. ex-vessel shrimp price. It would add a duty of $0.10 per kilogram on all imported shrimp in the listed tariff categories, with an equal amount used to inspect imported shrimp and catfish. It would also extend country-of-origin labeling rules to cooked shrimp and crawfish and direct the U.S. Trade Representative to modify U.S. trade commitments to allow the higher duties.
