India Shrimp: Commerce Set to Recognize Premier Marine's Name Change

The Commerce Department looks set to recognize an Indian company’s name change for the purposes of antidumping duties on frozen warmwater shrimp from India (A-533-840), finding Premier Marine Products Private Limited to be the successor-in-interest to Premier Marine Products in the preliminary results of a changed circumstances review. The agency found Premier changed its corporate structure, and its name accordingly, but made no other changes besides the addition of a few partners with a minority stake. If Commerce confirms its finding in the final results, Premier Marine Products Private Limited will inherit the 2.49% AD duty rate assigned to Premier Marine Products in the most recently completed administrative review on shrimp from India.
