review of C. P. Vietnam Corporation and
preliminarily determined that C. P.

harvested) or farm-raised (produced by
aquaculture), head-on or head-off, shellon or peeled, tail-on or tail-off,6
deveined or not deveined, cooked or
raw, or otherwise processed in frozen
form.
The frozen warmwater shrimp and
prawn products included in the scope of
this order, regardless of definitions in
the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (‘‘HTS’’), are products
which are processed from warmwater
shrimp and prawns through freezing
and which are sold in any count size.
The products described above may be

Warmwater shrimp and prawns are
generally classified in, but are not
limited to, the Penaeidae family. Some

examples of the farmed and wild-caught
warmwater species include, but are not
limited to, whiteleg shrimp (Penaeus
vannemei), banana prawn (Penaeus
merguiensis), fleshy prawn (Penaeus
chinensis), giant river prawn
(Macrobrachium rosenbergii), giant tiger
prawn (Penaeus monodon), redspotted

(Trachypenaeus curvirostris), southern
white shrimp (Penaeus schmitti), blue
shrimp (Penaeus stylirostris), western
white shrimp (Penaeus occidentalis),
and Indian white prawn (Penaeus

Frozen shrimp and prawns that are
packed with marinade, spices or sauce
are included in the scope of this order.
In addition, food preparations
(including dusted shrimp), which are
not ‘‘prepared meals,’’ that contain more
than 20 percent by weight of shrimp or
prawn are also included in the scope of
this order.
Excluded from the scope are: (1)
Breaded shrimp and prawns (HTS
subheading 1605.20.10.20); (2) shrimp
and prawns generally classified in the
Pandalidae family and commonly
referred to as coldwater shrimp, in any

peeled shrimp; (2) to which a ‘‘dusting’’
layer of rice or wheat flour of at least 95
percent purity has been applied; (3)
with the entire surface of the shrimp
flesh thoroughly and evenly coated with
the flour; (4) with the non-shrimp
content of the end product constituting
between four and 10 percent of the
product’s total weight after being
dusted, but prior to being frozen; and (5)
that is subjected to individually quick
frozen (‘‘IQF’’) freezing immediately
after application of the dusting layer.
When dusted in accordance with the
definition of dusting above, the battered
shrimp product is also coated with a
wet viscous layer containing egg and/or
milk, and par-fried.
The products covered by this order
are currently classified under the
following HTS subheadings:
0306.13.00.03, 0306.13.00.06,

Final Results of Changed
Circumstances Review
For the reasons stated in the
Preliminary Results, and because the
Department did not receive any
comments on the Preliminary Results of
this review, the Department continues
to find that C. P. Vietnam Corporation
is the successor-in-interest to C. P.
Vietnam Livestock Corporation, for
purposes of the antidumping duty cashdeposit rate. Accordingly, C. P. Vietnam
Corporation shall receive the same
antidumping duty treatment as C. P.
Vietnam Livestock Corporation.
Notification
The Department will instruct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection that the
cash deposit determination from this
changed circumstances review will
apply to all shipments of the subject
merchandise produced and exported by
C. P. Vietnam Corporation entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the date of
publication of the final results of this
changed circumstances review. This
deposit rate shall remain in effect until
further notice.
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (‘‘APO’’) of their
responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.306. Timely written
notification of the return/destruction of
APO materials or conversion to judicial
protective order is hereby requested.
Failure to comply with the regulations
and terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and
777(i) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended, and 19 CFR 351.216.
7 On April 26, 2011, the Department amended the
antidumping duty order to include dusted shrimp,
pursuant to the U.S. Court of International Trade
(‘‘CIT’’) decision in Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action
Committee v. United States, 703 F. Supp. 2d 1330
(CIT 2010) and the U.S. International Trade
Commission determination, which found the
domestic like product to include dusted shrimp.

\7\ On April 26, 2011, the Department amended the antidumping
duty order to include dusted shrimp, pursuant to the U.S. Court of
International Trade (``CIT'') decision in Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action
Committee v. United States, 703 F. Supp. 2d 1330 (CIT 2010) and the
U.S. International Trade Commission determination, which found the
domestic like product to include dusted shrimp.

final results of this changed circumstances review. This deposit rate
shall remain in effect until further notice.
