The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from Ecuador and Indonesia that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the governments of Ecuador and Indonesia and imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from India and Vietnam that are allegedly subsidized by the governments of India and Vietnam.
Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioners Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Jason E. Kearns, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue its investigations of imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam, with its preliminary countervailing duty determinations due on or about January 18, 2024, and its preliminary antidumping duty determinations due on or about April 2, 2024.
The Commission’s public report Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-699-702 and 731-TA-1659-1660 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5482, December 2023) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
