Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp
From Thailand: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative
Review, Final Determination of No
Shipments, and Partial Rescission of
Review; 2012–2013
Enforcement and Compliance,
International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On March 24, 2014, the
Department of Commerce (the
Department) published the preliminary
results of the administrative review of
the antidumping duty order on certain
frozen warmwater shrimp from
Thailand.1 The period of review (POR)
is February 1, 2012, through January 31,
2013. Based on our analysis of the
comments received, we made certain
changes in the margin calculations.
Therefore, the final results differ from
the preliminary results. For the final
results, we continue to find that all
companies involved in this review sold
subject merchandise at less than normal
value. Finally, we find that 12
companies had no shipments of subject
merchandise during the POR.
DATES: Effective Date: August 28, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This review covers 159 producers/
exporters. The respondents which the
Department selected for individual
examination are Thai Union Frozen
Products Public Co., Ltd. and Thai
Union Seafood Co., Ltd. (collectively,
Thai Union) and the Pakfood Group.2
On July 26, 2013, we collapsed Thai
Union and Pakfood into a single entity,
hereinafter referred to as ‘‘Thai Union/
Pakfood’’).3 The respondents which
were not selected for individual
examination are listed in the ‘‘Final
Results of the Review’’ section of this
notice.
On March 24, 2014, the Department
published the Preliminary Results. On
March 25, 2014, we issued a
memorandum stating our intention to
rescind the review for two companies
that the Department found not to be
producers or exporters of subject
merchandise, as defined in 19 CFR
351.213(b) and 351.102(b)(29)(i).4
In May 2014, we received case briefs
from the American Shrimp Processors
Association and Thai Union/Pakfood,
and we received rebuttal briefs from the
above-mentioned interested parties and
the the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action
Committee. Also on May 15, 2014, the
Department held a public hearing at the
request of the respondents.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is certain frozen warmwater shrimp.5
The product is currently classified
2 The Pakfood Group includes the following
companies: Pakfood Public Company Limited,
Okeanos Co. Ltd., Okeanos Food Co., Ltd., Asia
Pacific (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Chaophraya Cold
Storage Co. Ltd., and Takzin Samut Co. Ltd.
(collectively, Pakfood).
3 In this review, the Department determined to
treat the Pakfood Group as a collapsed entity with
Thai Union, effective as of April 23, 2012. See
Preliminary Results.
4 See memorandum from Dennis McClure, Senior
Analyst, Office II, to James Maeder, Director, Office
II, entitled ‘‘Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from
Thailand: Preliminary Intent to Rescind Review for
GSE Lining Technology Co., Ltd. and Recission of
Review for Kosamut Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.,’’ dated
March 25, 2014.

Order, see the memorandum from Gary Taverman,
Senior Advisor for Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Operations, to Ronald K.

Enforcement and Compliance, entitled, ‘‘Issues and

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on comments received from
interested parties regarding our
Preliminary Results, we made one
change to Thai Union/Pakfood’s margin
calculations.
Period of Review
The POR is February 1, 2012, through
January 31, 2013.
Determination of No Shipments
As noted in the Preliminary Results,
we received properly-filed no shipment
claims from 13 companies named in the
Initiation Notice.6 However, as noted in
the ‘‘Rescission in Part’’ section of this
notice, below, we subsequently
determined that one of these companies
is not an exporter or producer of shrimp
and thus we are rescinding the review
with regard to this company.
Regarding the remaining 12
companies, we confirmed the claims of
these companies with U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP). We received no
comments from interested parties with

of the proceeding contradicting our
finding with respect to Kosamut.
Because no party has commented on
this preliminary decision, we continue
to find that GSE and Kosamut are not
exporters or producers, as defined in 19
CFR 351.213(b), and, accordingly, the
Department is rescinding the review
with respect to GSE and Kosamut,
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
Percent
margin
respect to these claims. Therefore,
because we find that the record
indicates that the 12 companies listed
below did not export subject
merchandise to the United States during
the POR, we continue to find that they
had no reviewable transactions during
the POR. These companies are:
(1) Anglo-Siam Seafoods Co., Ltd.;
(2) Daedong (Thailand) Co. Ltd.;
(3) Grobest Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.;
(4) Leo Global Logistics Co., Ltd;
(5) Leo Transports;

(12) V. Thai Food Product Co., Ltd.
Final Results of the Review
We are assigning the following
dumping margins to the firms listed
below as follows:
Manufacturer/exporter
Rescission, in Part
The Department initiated this
administrative review for 161
companies, including companies named
GSE Lining Technology Co., Ltd. (GSE)
and Kosamut Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.
(Kosamut).7 In the Preliminary Results,
we made a determination that GSE did
not ship subject merchandise to the
United States during the period of
review, based on its certified statement
of no shipments; 8 and we assigned
Kosamut a preliminary dumping margin
as a non-selected respondent.9
After issuing the preliminary results,
it came to our attention that neither GSE
nor Kosamut is a producer or exporter
of subject merchandise, as defined in 19
CFR 351.213(b), and thus we issued a
memorandum stating that the
Department intended to rescind the
review for both of these companies in
the final results. Specifically, in its
April 2013 statement of no shipments,
GSE certified that it is a manufacturer of
geosynthetic liners and that it is not,
and has never been, involved in the sale
of shrimp or other seafood. Moreover, in
Shrimp AR7 Final Results,10 the
Department determined that Kosamut is
neither an exporter nor a manufacturer
of subject merchandise, and
accordingly, we rescinded the review
with respect to this entity; there is no
evidence on the record of this segment

11 This cash deposit rate is based on the combined
sales of Thai Union and Pakfood after the
companies were collapsed (i.e., sales made during
the period April 23, 2012, through January 31,
2013). The rates calculated for Thai Union and
Pakfood for the period February 1, 2012, through
April 22, 2012, are zero percent and 2.09 percent,
respectively. The calculations for the period
February 1, 2012, through April 22, 2012, will be
used for assessment purposes only, as noted in the
‘‘Collapsing of Thai Union and Pakfood’’ section of

Assessment Rates
The Department shall determine, and
CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries. Pursuant to 19
CFR 351.212(b)(1), for entries of Thai
Union/Pakfood’s subject merchandise
made from April 23, 2012, through
January 31, 2013, we have calculated
importer-specific ad valorem duty
assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of antidumping duties
calculated for the examined sales to the
total entered value of the sales. With
respect to entries of subject merchandise
by Thai Union and Pakfood prior to
April 23, 2012, we have calculated
importer-specific ad valorem duty
assessment rates using the individual
company information based on the same
method noted above. To determine
whether the duty assessment rates are
de minimis, in accordance with the
requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we have calculated
importer-specific ad valorem ratios
based on the entered value. For the
companies which were not selected for
individual examination, we have used
as the assessment rate the cash deposit
rate assigned to Thai Union/Pakfood, in
accordance with our practice.12 The
Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rates for the reviewed
companies will be the rates shown
above, except if the rate is less than 0.50
percent (de minimis within the meaning
of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1)) the cash
deposit will be zero; (2) for previously
reviewed or investigated companies not
listed above, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recent period; (3)
if the exporter is not a firm covered in
this review, a previous review, or the
original LTFV investigation, but the
manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recent period for the manufacturer of
the merchandise; and (4) the cash
deposit rate for all other manufacturers
or exporters will continue to be 5.34
percent, the all-others rate made
effective by the Section 129
Determination.13 These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only
reminder to importers of their
responsibility, under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2), to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this
review period. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
Secretary’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Order
This notice serves as the only
reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
disposition of proprietary information
13 Effective January 16, 2009, there is no longer
a cash deposit requirement for certain producers/
exporters in accordance with the Implementation of

Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Thailand: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Final Determination of No
Shipments, and Partial Rescission of Review; 2012-2013
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On March 24, 2014, the Department of Commerce (the Department)
published the preliminary results of the administrative review of the
antidumping duty order on certain frozen warmwater shrimp from
Thailand.\1\ The period of review (POR) is February 1, 2012, through
January 31, 2013. Based on our analysis of the comments received, we
made certain changes in the margin calculations. Therefore, the final
results differ from the preliminary results. For the final results, we
continue to find that all companies involved in this review sold
subject merchandise at less than normal value. Finally, we find that 12
companies had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This review covers 159 producers/exporters. The respondents which
the Department selected for individual examination are Thai Union
Frozen Products Public Co., Ltd. and Thai Union Seafood Co., Ltd.
(collectively, Thai Union) and the Pakfood Group.\2\ On July 26, 2013,
we collapsed Thai Union and Pakfood into a single entity, hereinafter
referred to as ``Thai Union/Pakfood'').\3\ The respondents which were
not selected for individual examination are listed in the ``Final
Results of the Review'' section of this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The Pakfood Group includes the following companies: Pakfood
Public Company Limited, Okeanos Co. Ltd., Okeanos Food Co., Ltd.,
Asia Pacific (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Chaophraya Cold Storage Co. Ltd.,
and Takzin Samut Co. Ltd. (collectively, Pakfood).
\3\ In this review, the Department determined to treat the
Pakfood Group as a collapsed entity with Thai Union, effective as of
April 23, 2012. See Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On March 24, 2014, the Department published the Preliminary
Results. On March 25, 2014, we issued a memorandum stating our
intention to rescind the review for two companies that the Department
found not to be producers or exporters of subject merchandise, as
defined in 19 CFR 351.213(b) and 351.102(b)(29)(i).\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See memorandum from Dennis McClure, Senior Analyst, Office
II, to James Maeder, Director, Office II, entitled ``Frozen
Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand: Preliminary Intent to Rescind Review
for GSE Lining Technology Co., Ltd. and Recission of Review for
Kosamut Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.,'' dated March 25, 2014.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In May 2014, we received case briefs from the American Shrimp
Processors Association and Thai Union/Pakfood, and we received rebuttal
briefs from the above-mentioned interested parties and the the Ad Hoc
Shrimp Trade Action Committee. Also on May 15, 2014, the Department
held a public hearing at the request of the respondents.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order is certain frozen warmwater
shrimp.\5\ The product is currently classified under the following
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) item numbers:
0306.17.00.03, 0306.17.00.06, 0306.17.00.09, 0306.17.00.12,

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, entitled,

Antidumping Duty Administrative Review of Certain Frozen Warmwater
Shrimp from Thailand,'' (dated concurrently with these results)
(Issues and Decision Memo), which is hereby adopted by this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case briefs by parties are addressed in
the Issues and Decision Memo. A list of the issues which parties raised
and to which we respond in the Issues and Decision Memo is attached to
this notice as Appendix I. The Issues and Decision Memo is a public
document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (IA ACCESS). IA ACCESS is available to registered users at

versions of the Issues and Decision Memo are identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on comments received from interested parties regarding our
Preliminary Results, we made one change to Thai Union/Pakfood's margin
calculations.
Period of Review
The POR is February 1, 2012, through January 31, 2013.
Determination of No Shipments
As noted in the Preliminary Results, we received properly-filed no
shipment claims from 13 companies named in the Initiation Notice.\6\
However, as noted in the ``Rescission in Part'' section of this notice,
below, we subsequently determined that one of these companies is not an
exporter or producer of shrimp and thus we are rescinding the review
with regard to this company.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From India and Thailand:
Notice of Initiation of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, 78
FR 19639 (April 2, 2013) (Initiation Notice).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regarding the remaining 12 companies, we confirmed the claims of
these companies with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). We
received no comments from interested parties with
[[Page 51307]]
respect to these claims. Therefore, because we find that the record
indicates that the 12 companies listed below did not export subject
merchandise to the United States during the POR, we continue to find
that they had no reviewable transactions during the POR. These
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
companies are:
(1) Anglo-Siam Seafoods Co., Ltd.;
(2) Daedong (Thailand) Co. Ltd.;
(3) Grobest Frozen Foods Co., Ltd.;
(4) Leo Global Logistics Co., Ltd;
(5) Leo Transports;
(6) Lucky Union Foods Co., Ltd.;
(7) Namprick Maesri Ltd. Part.;
(8) S.K. Foods (Thailand) Public Co. Limited;
(9) Shing-Fu Seaproducts Development Co., Ltd.;
(10) Surapon Nichirei Foods Co., Ltd.;
(11) Thai Union Manufacturing; and
(12) V. Thai Food Product Co., Ltd.
Rescission, in Part
The Department initiated this administrative review for 161
companies, including companies named GSE Lining Technology Co., Ltd.
(GSE) and Kosamut Frozen Foods Co., Ltd. (Kosamut).\7\ In the
Preliminary Results, we made a determination that GSE did not ship
subject merchandise to the United States during the period of review,
based on its certified statement of no shipments; \8\ and we assigned
Kosamut a preliminary dumping margin as a non-selected respondent.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From India and Thailand:
Notice of Initiation of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews, 78
FR 19639 (April 2, 2013).
\8\ See the letter from GSE to the Department dated April 16,
2013.
\9\ See Preliminary Results, 79 FR at 15953.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After issuing the preliminary results, it came to our attention
that neither GSE nor Kosamut is a producer or exporter of subject
merchandise, as defined in 19 CFR 351.213(b), and thus we issued a
memorandum stating that the Department intended to rescind the review
for both of these companies in the final results. Specifically, in its
April 2013 statement of no shipments, GSE certified that it is a
manufacturer of geosynthetic liners and that it is not, and has never
been, involved in the sale of shrimp or other seafood. Moreover, in
Shrimp AR7 Final Results,\10\ the Department determined that Kosamut is
neither an exporter nor a manufacturer of subject merchandise, and
accordingly, we rescinded the review with respect to this entity; there
is no evidence on the record of this segment of the proceeding
contradicting our finding with respect to Kosamut.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From Thailand: Final
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, Partial
Rescission of Review, and Revocation of Order (in Part); 2011-2012,
78 FR 42497, 42499 (July 16, 2013) (Shrimp AR7 Final Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Because no party has commented on this preliminary decision, we
continue to find that GSE and Kosamut are not exporters or producers,
as defined in 19 CFR 351.213(b), and, accordingly, the Department is
rescinding the review with respect to GSE and Kosamut, pursuant to 19
CFR 351.213(d)(3).
Final Results of the Review
We are assigning the following dumping margins to the firms listed
below as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

\11\ This cash deposit rate is based on the combined sales of
Thai Union and Pakfood after the companies were collapsed (i.e.,
sales made during the period April 23, 2012, through January 31,
2013). The rates calculated for Thai Union and Pakfood for the
period February 1, 2012, through April 22, 2012, are zero percent
and 2.09 percent, respectively. The calculations for the period
February 1, 2012, through April 22, 2012, will be used for
assessment purposes only, as noted in the ``Collapsing of Thai Union
and Pakfood'' section of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Assessment Rates
The Department shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
for entries of Thai Union/Pakfood's subject merchandise made from April
23, 2012, through January 31, 2013, we have calculated importer-
specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the
total amount of antidumping duties calculated for the examined sales to
the total entered value of the sales. With respect to entries of
subject merchandise by Thai Union and Pakfood prior to April 23, 2012,
we have calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates
using the individual company information based on the same method noted
above. To determine whether the duty assessment rates are de minimis,
in accordance with the requirement set forth in 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2),
we have calculated importer-specific ad valorem ratios based on the
entered value. For the companies which were not selected for individual
examination, we have used as the assessment rate the cash deposit rate
assigned to Thai Union/Pakfood, in accordance with our practice.\12\
The Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of these final results of review.

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results
of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act: (1) The cash deposit rates for the reviewed companies will be
the rates shown above, except if the rate is less than 0.50 percent (de
minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1)) the cash deposit
will be zero; (2) for previously reviewed or investigated companies not
listed above, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter
is not a firm covered in this review, a previous review, or the
original LTFV investigation, but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit
rate will be the rate established for the most recent period for the
manufacturer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all
other manufacturers or exporters will continue to be 5.34 percent, the
all-others rate made effective by the Section 129 Determination.\13\
These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ Effective January 16, 2009, there is no longer a cash
deposit requirement for certain producers/exporters in accordance
with the Implementation of the Findings of the WTO Panel in United
States Antidumping Measure on Shrimp from Thailand: Notice of
Determination under Section 129 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act
and Partial Revocation of the Antidumping Duty Order on Frozen
Warmwater Shrimp from Thailand, 74 FR 5638 (January 30, 2009)
(Section 129 Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as the only reminder to importers of their
responsibility, under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2), to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information
[[Page 51309]]
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of return/destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable
violation.
This notice is published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and 19 CFR
351.213(d)(4) and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
