SEAFOODNEWS.COM by Michael Ramsingh - March 4, 2015
The Commerce Department raised most antidumping duty rates for Indian shrimp exporters but lowered those for Vietnamese exporters in its ninth preliminary review.
The review period covered entries of frozen shrimp products between February 1, 2013 and January 31, 2014.
For India, Commerce calculated antidumping rates of 3.28 percent for Devi Fisheries, 2.63 percent for Falcon Marine, and an average rate of 2.96 percent that it assigned to more than 200 Indian exporters subject to the review.
Commerce's preliminary adjustment for Devi and the country-wide rate was higher than the Department's final determination in its eight review. Those rates were 1.97 percent and 2.49 percent respectively. Falcon Marine's was the only Indian exporter to get a lower rate from its 3.01 percent final duty in the eighth review.
