The Commerce Department and the International Trade Commission published the following Federal Register notices April 1 on AD/CVD proceedings:
Suspension of liquidation and countervailing duty cash deposit requirements take effect April 1 for imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from Ecuador (C-331-806), India (C-533-921) and Vietnam (C-552-838), after the Commerce Department found countervailable subsidization in preliminary determinations in its ongoing CV duty investigations.
The Commerce Department will soon suspend liquidation and impose countervailing duty cash deposit requirements on imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from Ecuador, India and Vietnam, but will not at this time suspend liquidation or set duties on frozen warmwater shrimp from Indonesia after finding no countervailable subsidization for that country, it said in a fact sheet March 26. The agency's preliminary determinations set CVD rates at 1.69% to 13.41% for Ecuadorian companies, 3.89% to 4.72% for Indian companies, and 2.84% to 196.41% for Vietnamese companies. If Commerce continues to find no countervailable subsidization for Indonesia in its final determination, the agency will not issue a CVD order on Indonesia. CVD suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements for Ecuador, India and Vietnam will take effect for entries on or after the date of publication of the preliminary determinations in the Federal Register, which should occur in the coming days.
Reps. Garret Graves, R-La., and Mary Sattler Peltola, D-Alaska, asked the administration to halt the import of shrimp from India, following an exposé of labor violations in Indian shrimp processing facilities. The two said the report also showed "severe food and safety issues" with the shrimp. The report didn't at all focus on food safety, only glancingly mentioning that shrimp can be overtreated with antibiotics in India.
