Vietnam Frozen Shrimp: Dachan Set to Get Quang Ngai's Separate AD Rate

The Commerce Department preliminarily found Gallant Dachan Seafood Co., Ltd. is the successor of Gallant Ocean (Quang Ngai) for the purposes of antidumping duty liability, it said in the preliminary results of a changed circumstances review on frozen warmwater shrimp from Vietnam (A-552-802). The Gallant Ocean subsidiary simply changed its name, and every other aspect of its operations was nearly the same except for reduced ownership by the parent company. If Commerce finalizes its determination, Dachan will become subject to Quang Ngai’s separate AD duty rate instead of the Vietnam-wide rate it currently receives, effective for subject merchandise entered on or after the publication of Commerce’s final results.
