Thailand Frozen Shrimp: Commerce Set to Recognize Thai Union Name Change

The Commerce Department looks set to recognize a Thai company’s name change for the purposes of antidumping duties on frozen warmwater shrimp from Thailand (A-549-822) (here), finding Thai Union Group to be the successor-in-interest to Thai Union Frozen Products Public Co., Ltd. in the preliminary results of a changed circumstances review. The agency preliminarily found Thai Union continues to operate with the same corporate structure and supplier network. If Commerce confirms its finding in the final results, Thai Union Group will inherit the AD duty rate assigned to Thai Union Frozen Products Public Co. in the most recently completed administrative review on frozen warmwater shrimp from Thailand.
