Shrimp from India would face new import fees, and cooked shrimp would show where it's from.
This bill would gradually increase import fees on shrimp coming from India, reaching up to 40% or $1 per kilogram by 2028. It would also add a small fee of $0.10 per kilogram on all shrimp imports, with that money set aside to pay for more inspections of imported shrimp and catfish. Additionally, cooked shrimp and crawfish would need to have labels showing their country of origin.
Today, the U.S. generally charges 0% import fees on warm-water shrimp and 5% on preserved shrimp (often waived). If this bill passes, shrimp from India would face gradually increasing fees, reaching 40% or $1 per kilogram by 2028. Additionally, all shrimp imports would have an extra $0.10 per kilogram fee, and cooked shrimp and crawfish would be required to show their country of origin.
