India Shrimp: Commerce Ups AD Cash Deposit Rate for Milsha

The Commerce Department will raise the antidumping duty cash deposit rate in effect for an exporter of frozen warmwater shrimp from India (A-533-840), implementing a recent Court of International Trade decision that ordered Commerce to recalculate rates set in an administrative review completed in 2019 (see 1910280007), it said. As a result of its recalculation, the AD duty cash deposit rate for Milsha Agro Exports Pvt. Ltd. will rise to 6.13% (from 1.87%). The new rate will apply to subject merchandise entered on or after Sept. 30, 2020.

Commerce is also amending AD duty rates it set for four other companies as a result of the CIT decision -- Calcutta Seafoods Pvt. Ltd./ Bay Seafood Pvt. Ltd./ Elque & Co., Blue-Fin Frozen Foods Pvt. Ltd., Crystal Sea Foods Private Ltd., and Forstar Frozen Foods Pvt. Ltd. -- but cash deposit requirements will not change for these companies because they have all had new rates set in more recent administrative reviews (see 2012280015). The changes will affect importer assessments for entries in 2017-18 from these exporters.
