August 28, 2026 — Soon after the U.S. implemented Section 301 tariffs on 60 separate economies in July, American seafood import firms voiced concerns that the new rates left them with few options for relief.
“The new duties stack on top of the normal rates, the antidumping and countervailing duties, and the older China tariffs. For a book like ours, that means the annual duty bill more than doubles,” BSF Chief Vision Officer Mark Frisch told SeafoodSource soon after the tariffs were instituted.
