India Shrimp Dumpers Hit with Final Duties

Published Date: 9/4/2026

Notice

Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that producers and/or exporters subject to this administrative review made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value during the period of review (POR), February 1, 2024, through January 31, 2025.

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.

Importer reimbursement certification required

Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries for this review period. If an importer fails to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and could assess doubled antidumping duties and/or increase the antidumping duties by the amount of the countervailing duties.

Final dumping margins set

Commerce found dumping for frozen warmwater shrimp sold during February 1, 2024 through January 31, 2025 and set weighted-average dumping margins of 4.04% for the Devi Group, 7.01% for Sandhya Aqua Exports Private Limited, and 5.53% for companies not selected for individual examination.

Cash deposit rates effective date

For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after September 4, 2026, the cash deposit rate for the companies in this review will equal the weighted-average dumping margins from these final results; previously investigated companies keep their most recent company-specific rates, and all other producers/exporters will continue to have a 10.17% all-others rate.

Assessment and liquidation timing rules

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries in accordance with these final results. Assessment instructions will be issued no earlier than 35 days after publication, and if a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, CBP will be directed not to liquidate relevant entries until the statutory injunction period (i.e., within 90 days of publication) has expired. If an importer-specific assessment rate is de minimis (less than 0.5%), CBP will liquidate those entries without regard to antidumping duties.

Automatic assessment for some intermediary sales

Commerce’s automatic assessment practice will apply to entries during the period of review that were produced by the Devi Group or Sandhya when the reviewed companies did not know the merchandise sold to an intermediary was destined for the United States. In such cases, if there is no rate for the intermediate company, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate those unreviewed entries at the all-others rate established in the original investigation.
