Thailand Frozen Shrimp: Prelim CV Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect
A countervailing duty cash deposit requirement will take effect June 4 for imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from Thailand (C-549-828), after the Commerce Department found illegal subsidization of Thai producers in its preliminary determination. The agency assigned a CV duty cash deposit rates of 2.09 percent to most Thai producers. Marine Gold will not be subject to suspension of liquidation and cash deposits requirements because Commerce calculated a de minimis CV duty rate for the company. Thai frozen shrimp has been subject to antidumping duties since 2005.
