The Shrimp Industry

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses whether the shrimp industry tariffs against imports are fair or foul play. The paper contends that this special tariff protection against shrimp brought into the American market from Vietnam, China, Thailand, Ecuador, Brazil, and India carries unfortunate consequences for U.S. trade relations with Vietnam and other developing nations.

From the Paper:

"The U.S. shrimp industry - specifically, The Southern Shrimp Alliance (SSA) - has won a series of major victories in their battle to receive special tariff protection against shrimp brought into the American market from Vietnam, China, Thailand, Ecuador, Brazil, and India.
In February, 2004, the United States' International Trade Commission ruled that the six countries mentioned in the first paragraph had "injured the domestic shrimp industry" by "dumping" their produce on the American market, according to an article in the Economist (July, 2004)."
