The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) determined on June 1 that revoking the existing antidumping duty orders on frozen warmwater shrimp from China, India, Thailand, and Vietnam would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the existing orders on imports of this product from China, India, Thailand, and Vietnam will remain in place. The antidumping duty orders will next be subject to another sunset review in June of 2028.
Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioners Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Jason E. Kearns, Randolph J. Stayin, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative. The action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act.
The Commission’s public report Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from China, India, Thailand, and Vietnam (Inv. Nos. 731-TA-1064 and 1066-1068 (Third Review), USITC Publication 5432, June 2023) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the reviews.
The report will be available by July 18, 2023; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time
