INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-699-700 and 702 and 731-TA-1660 (Final)]
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and
Vietnam
Determinations
On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by
reason of imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from Indonesia, provided
for in subheadings 0306.17.00, 1605.21.10, and 1605.29.10 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found
by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the
United States at less than fair value (``LTFV''), and imports of frozen
warmwater shrimp from Ecuador, India, and Vietnam that have been found
by Commerce to be subsidized by the governments of Ecuador, India, and
Vietnam.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
\2\ 89 FR 85498, 89 FR 85506, 89 FR 85502, and 89 FR 85500
(October 28, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
The Commission instituted these investigations effective October
25, 2023, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and
Commerce by the American Shrimp Processors Association, Port Arthur,
Texas. The final phase of the investigations was scheduled by the
Commission following notification of preliminary determinations by
Commerce that imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from Ecuador, India,
and Vietnam were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the
Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from
Indonesia were sold at LTFV within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19
U.S.C. 1673b(b)).\3\ Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the
Commission's investigations and of a public hearing to be held in
connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the
Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission,
Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register on
June 26, 2024 (89 FR 53444). The Commission conducted its hearing on
October 22, 2024. All persons who requested the opportunity were
permitted to participate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Commerce published notices in the Federal Register of a
negative final countervailing duty determination in connection with
the subject investigation concerning Indonesia and of a negative
final determination of sales at less than fair value in connection
with the subject investigation concerning Ecuador (89 FR 85512 and
89 FR 85508, October 28, 2024). Accordingly, effective October 28,
2024, the Commission terminated its countervailing duty
investigation concerning imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from
Indonesia and its antidumping duty investigation concerning imports
of frozen warmwater shrimp from Ecuador (89 FR 88061, November 6,
2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C.
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these
investigations on December 12, 2024. The views of the Commission are
contained in USITC Publication 5566 (December 2024), entitled Frozen
Warmwater Shrimp from Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam:
Investigation Nos. 701-TA-699-700 and 702 and 731-TA-1660 (Final).
By order of the Commission.
Issued: December 12, 2024.
