Ecuador Frozen Shrimp: CV Preliminary Negative Determination

The Commerce Department will not suspend liquidation and impose cash deposit requirements on imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from Ecuador (C-331-803), after finding no countervailable subsidization in its preliminary CV duty determination. The agency calculated de minimis CV duty rates for both respondents, Promarisco and Sociedad Nacional de Galapagos. Commerce will revisit the issue when it issues its final determination, and may at that point suspend liquidation and impose CV duty cash deposit requirements if it finds subsidization. The final determination is currently due 75 days from the date of this preliminary determination.
