Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 163 / Thursday, August 26, 2021 / Notices
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant
entries until the time for parties to file
a request for a statutory injunction has
expired (i.e., within 90 days of
publication).
Where the respondent reported
reliable entered values, we calculated
importer—(or customer-) specific ad
valorem rates by aggregating the
dumping margins calculated for all U.S.
sales to each importer (or customer) and
dividing this amount by the total
entered value of the sales to each
importer (or customer).15 Where
Commerce calculated a weightedaverage dumping margin by dividing the
total amount of dumping for reviewed
sales to that party by the total sales
quantity associated with those
transactions, Commerce will direct CBP
to assess importer—(or customer-)
specific assessment rates based on the
resulting per-unit rates.16 Where an
importer—(or customer-) specific ad
valorem or per-unit rate is greater than
de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent),
Commerce will instruct CBP to collect
the appropriate duties at the time of
liquidation.17 Where an importer—(or
customer-) specific ad valorem or perunit rate is zero or de minimis,
Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.18
For the companies which were not
selected for individual review, we will
assign an assessment rate based on the
methodology described in the ‘‘Rates for
Non-Examined Companies’’ section,
above.
Consistent with Commerce’s
assessment practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by NSC, Tokyo Steel, or the
non-examined companies for which the
producer did not know that its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction.19

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entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,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
15 See
19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
16 Id.
for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1)
The cash deposit rates for the
companies listed in these final results
will be equal to the weighted-average
dumping margins established in the
final results of this review; (2) for
merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review but
covered in a prior segment of this
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the company-specific rate
published for the most recently
completed segment in which the
company was reviewed; (3) if the
exporter is not a firm covered in this
review or the original less-than-fairvalue (LTFV) investigation, but the
producer is, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate established for the most recently
completed segment of this proceeding
for the producer of the subject
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 5.58 percent,20 the
all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation. These cash deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final 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 POR. Failure to comply with
this requirement could result in the
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping duties occurred and the
subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or
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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these
results in accordance with sections
751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(5) of
Commerce’s regulations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 2, 2021, Camimex Group
Joint Stock Company requested that,
pursuant to section 751(b) of the Tariff
Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), 19
CFR 351.216, and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3),
Commerce conduct a CCR of the Order 1
to confirm that Camimex Group Joint

Export Corporation and, accordingly, to
assign it the cash deposit rate of its
predecessor.2 In its request, Camimex
Group Joint Stock Company stated that
it undertook a legal name change from
Camau Frozen Seafood Processing
Import Export Corporation, but the
company is, otherwise, unchanged.3
On July 8, 2021, Commerce initiated
a CCR and preliminarily determined
that Camimex Group Joint Stock
Company is the SII to Camau Frozen
Seafood Processing Import Export
Corporation.4 In the CCR Initiation and
Prelim, we provided all interested

Final Results of Changed
Circumstances Review
For the reasons stated in the CCR
Initiation and Prelim, Commerce
continues to find that Camimex Group
Joint Stock Company is the SII to Camau
Frozen Seafood Processing Import
Export Corporation. As a result of this
determination and consistent with
established practice, we find that
Camimex Group Joint Stock Company
should receive the cash deposit rate
previously assigned to Camau Frozen
Seafood Processing Import Export
Corporation. Consequently, we will
instruct CBP to suspend liquidation of
all shipments of subject merchandise
exported by Camimex Group Joint Stock
Company, and entered or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after the publication date of this notice
in the Federal Register at the cash
deposit rate in effect for Camau Frozen
Seafood Processing Import Export
Corporation. This cash deposit
requirement shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing this determination and
publishing these final results and notice
in accordance with sections 751(b)(1)
and 777(i)(1) and (2) of the Act, and 19
CFR 351.216(e), 351.221(b), and

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
processed from any species of warmwater
shrimp and prawns. 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, white-leg shrimp (Penaeus
vannemei), banana prawn (Penaeus
merguiensis), fleshy prawn (Penaeus
chinensis), giant river prawn
(Macrobrachium rosenbergii), giant tiger
prawn (Penaeus monodon), redspotted
shrimp (Penaeus brasiliensis), southern
brown shrimp (Penaeus subtilis), southern
pink shrimp (Penaeus notialis), southern
rough shrimp (Trachypenaeus curvirostris),
southern white shrimp (Penaeus schmitti),
blue shrimp (Penaeus stylirostris), western
white shrimp (Penaeus occidentalis), and
Indian white prawn (Penaeus indicus).
Frozen shrimp and prawns that are packed
with marinade, spices or sauce are included
in the scope of the order. In addition, food
preparations, which are not ‘‘prepared
meals,’’ that contain more than 20 percent by
weight of shrimp or prawn are also included
in the scope of the 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 state of
processing; (3) fresh shrimp and prawns
whether shell-on or peeled (HTS subheadings
0306.23.00.20 and 0306.23.00.40); (4) shrimp
and prawns in prepared meals (HTS
subheading 1605.20.05.10); (5) dried shrimp
and prawns; (6) canned warmwater shrimp
and prawns (HTS subheading 1605.20.10.40);
and (7) certain battered shrimp. Battered
shrimp is a shrimp-based product: (1) That is
produced from fresh (or thawed-from-frozen)
and 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: 0306.17.0004, 0306.17.0005,

Final Results of Changed Circumstances Review
For the reasons stated in the CCR Initiation and Prelim, Commerce
continues to find that Camimex Group Joint Stock Company is the SII to
Camau Frozen Seafood Processing Import Export Corporation. As a result
of this determination and consistent with established practice, we find

liquidation of all shipments of subject merchandise exported by Camimex
Group Joint Stock Company, and entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication date of this notice in the
Federal Register at the cash deposit rate in effect for Camau Frozen
Seafood Processing Import Export Corporation. This cash deposit
requirement shall remain in effect until further notice.

results and notice in accordance with sections 751(b)(1) and 777(i)(1)
and (2) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.216(e), 351.221(b), and

Appendix--Scope of the Order
The scope of the order includes certain frozen warmwater shrimp
and prawns, whether wildcaught (ocean harvested) or farm-raised
(produced by aquaculture), head-on or head-off, shell-on or peeled,
tail-on or tail-off,\7\ deveined or not deveined, cooked or raw, or
otherwise processed in frozen form.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ ``Tails'' in this context means the tail fan which includes
the telson and the uropods.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The frozen warmwater shrimp and prawn products included in the
scope of the 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 processed from any species
of warmwater shrimp and prawns. 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, white-leg shrimp (Penaeus
vannemei), banana prawn (Penaeus merguiensis), fleshy prawn (Penaeus
chinensis), giant river prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii), giant
tiger prawn (Penaeus monodon), redspotted shrimp (Penaeus
brasiliensis), southern brown shrimp (Penaeus subtilis), southern
pink shrimp (Penaeus notialis), southern rough shrimp (Trachypenaeus
curvirostris), southern white shrimp (Penaeus schmitti), blue shrimp
(Penaeus stylirostris), western white shrimp (Penaeus occidentalis),
and Indian white prawn (Penaeus indicus).
Frozen shrimp and prawns that are packed with marinade, spices
or sauce are included in the scope of the order. In addition, food
preparations, which are not ``prepared meals,'' that contain more
than 20 percent by weight of shrimp or prawn are also included in
the scope of the 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 state of processing; (3)
fresh shrimp and prawns whether shell-on or peeled (HTS subheadings
0306.23.00.20 and 0306.23.00.40); (4) shrimp and prawns in prepared
meals (HTS subheading 1605.20.05.10); (5) dried shrimp and prawns;
(6) canned warmwater shrimp and prawns (HTS subheading
1605.20.10.40); and (7) certain battered shrimp. Battered shrimp is
a shrimp-based product: (1) That is produced from fresh (or thawed-
from-frozen) and 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: 0306.17.0004, 0306.17.0005,
0306.17.0007, 0306.17.0008, 0306.17.0010, 0306.17.0011,
0306.17.0013, 0306.17.0014, 0306.17.0016, 0306.17.0017,
0306.17.0019, 0306.17.0020, 0306.17.0022, 0306.17.0023,
0306.17.0025, 0306.17.0026, 0306.17.0028, 0306.17.0029,
