Fourth Administrative Reviews

Administrative reviews for the fourth review period (February 2008 through January 2009) of the antidumping duty orders on shrimp from China, India, Thailand, and Vietnam were initiated in 2009. Because the antidumping duty order on shrimp from Ecuador was revoked in 2007 as the result of an adverse ruling by the World Trade Organization, no review was conducted with respect to Ecuadorian shrimp. Also, for the second successive year, no Brazilian shrimp was imported into the United States and, as such, no administrative review was initiated regarding the Brazilian antidumping duty order.
Administrative litigation in the fourth administrative reviews of the antidumping orders on shrimp from China, India, Thailand, and Vietnam will continue into 2010. The final results of these proceedings are anticipated to be released sometime between July and September of 2010.
