U.S. Department of Commerce Rescinds Part of Antidumping Duty Review on Frozen Shrimp from India
Estimated reading time: 2–5 minutes
The United States Department of Commerce has announced a partial rescission of an antidumping duty review on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from India. This review focused on shipments made between February 1, 2024, and January 31, 2025.
In March 2025, the Commerce Department began reviewing the case for 391 companies. The review was set to examine whether these companies were selling shrimp in the United States at prices below fair value. However, it has been decided that the review for certain companies will stop because they did not have any reviewable entries of shrimp during the period in question.
The decision applies to companies that had no shipments of subject merchandise during that time. The Commerce Department provided a list of these companies, which can be found in Appendix I of the official announcement. This means the Commerce Department had no grounds to calculate new duty rates for them, as there was no activity to review.
For the companies not affected by this decision, the antidumping duty review will continue as planned. The companies that remain under review are listed in Appendix II.
Commerce will instruct the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties based on cash deposits that were required at the time of entry of the merchandise into the United States. This process will begin no earlier than 35 days following the publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Importers are reminded of their responsibility to provide a certificate under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties. If importers fail to provide this certificate, there is a presumption of reimbursement, and they could face doubled duties.
For parties under administrative protective orders, the announcement calls for adherence to the requirements about returning or destroying proprietary information. Non-compliance could lead to sanctions.
This rescission is part of regular procedures under U.S. trade laws to ensure fair pricing in international commerce.
