Minh Phu responded to news that a US Customs and Border Protection investigation had been requested against it, saying that while it does import shrimp from India for further processing and re-export, it accounts for just 10 percent of its imports, none of which is trans-shipped to the United States.

IntraFish broke the news June 4 that US Congressman Darin LaHood had sent a letter to the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) requesting the CBP initiate an investigation of anti-dumping duty evasion against Minh Phu.
