India Shrimp: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on frozen warmwater shrimp from India (A-533-840) (here). The agency tentatively calculated individual rates for two companies, Devi Fisheries and Falcon Marine, and preliminarily applied an average of those two rates to over 200 other Indian exporters.

Rates Only Preliminary; Cash Deposit Rates From Previous Proceedings Still in Effect
These preliminary results are not in effect, and do not affect current cash deposit requirements. For now, the most recent final AD rate calculated for each company is still applicable. If no final AD duty rate has ever been calculated for a company, then it is subject to the all others rate. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in July.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for some companies, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD duty cash deposit rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Devi Fisheries Limited / Satya Seafoods Private Limited / Usha Seafoods | 3.28% |
| Falcon Marine Exports Limited / K.R. Enterprises | 2.63% |
| Average rate for over 200 companies | 2.96% |
(See Commerce's notice for a full list of over 200 companies that were preliminarily assigned new AD rates but were not under individual review.)
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the AD duties it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between Feb. 1, 2013 and Jan. 31, 2014. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise exported by Devi Fisheries and Falcon Marine will be assessed AD duties at importer-specific rates. Importers of subject merchandise exported by the more than 200 average rate companies will be assessed AD duties at the rate calculated in the final results.
(The period of review is 02/01/13 -- 01/31/14. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
