ASDA White Paper Synopsis
- posted January 2004
On December 31, 2003, the domestic shrimp industry, represented by the Southern
Shrimp Alliance, filed an antidumping petition against shrimp imports from six
(6) countries: China, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Ecuador, and Brazil, alleging
unfair trade practices and seeking tarrifs of more than 200 percent. As past
trade actions have demonstrated, tariffs do not address or solve the problems
facing domestic producers. Rather, trade actions create uncertainty in the
marketplace by disrupting or limiting supplies, which in turn harms U.S. businesses
and hurts consumers by driving up prices. A recent economic study commissioned
by the American Seafood Distributors Association estimates that tariffs on shrimp
will lead to lost revenue for thousands of American companies that currently
benefit by free trade in shrimp. to restrict shrimp imports.
Position Paper: Why
Support ASDA? -posted March 2003
Over the past few years, seafood importers and distributors have
faced a number of challenges as segments of the domestic industry
have attempted to limit imports, impose tariffs, or legislate quotas
that have cost or will cost consumers—and our industry—millions
of dollars.
ASDA White Paper
-posted January 2003
The American Seafood Distributors Association opposes all efforts
to restrict the domestic consumption of shrimp, including efforts
