China 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 China (A-570-893). The agency found 134 companies did not cooperate in the review, assigning them to the China-wide entity with a rate of 112.81%. If the agency's finding is continued in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from these 134 companies entered Feb. 1, 2021, through Jan. 31, 2022, will be assessed AD duties at that 112.81% rate. An AD duty cash deposit rate of 112.81% would take effect for these 134 companies upon publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register. See Commerce's notice for a full list of these companies.

Commerce also found two other companies -- Zhangzhou Hongwei Foods Co., Ltd. and Zhanjiang Regal Integrated Marine Resources Co., Ltd. -- had no shipments during the period under review. If Commerce confirms these findings in its final results, the current AD duty cash deposit rates in effect for these two companies will not change as a result of this review. Any subject merchandise entered under the AD duty case numbers for these four companies would be liquidated at the 112.81% China-wide rate.
Only the 136 exporters for which an administrative review was requested are covered by this review. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters will not change. Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” for entries during the period of review from all exporters not under review (ADCVDWeb Message # 2137406).
(The period of review is 02/01/21 - 01/31/22. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
