Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Although the

Continuation of the Order
As a result of the determinations by
Commerce and the ITC that revocation
of the Order would likely lead to a
continuation or recurrence of dumping
as well as material injury to an industry
in the United States, pursuant to section
751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the
continuation of the Order. U.S. Customs
and Border Protection will continue to
collect AD cash deposits at the rates in
effect at the time of entry for all imports
of subject merchandise. The effective
date of the continuation of the Order
will be the date of publication in the
Federal Register of this notice of
continuation. Pursuant to section
751(c)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.218(c)(2), Commerce intends to
initiate the next five-year review of the
Order no later than 30 days prior to the
fifth anniversary of the effective date of
continuation.
Administrative Protective Order

reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of
their responsibility concerning the
return/destruction, or conversion to
judicial protective order of proprietary
information disclosed under APO in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3).
Failure to comply is a violation of the
APO which may be subject to sanctions.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties regarding our Preliminary
Results, we made certain changes to the
preliminary weighted-average margin
calculations for HN Indigos and the
companies not selected for individual
review.6
Final Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we
determine the following weightedaverage dumping margins for the period
February 1, 2019, through January 31,
2020:
Weighted-average
dumping margin
(percent)
Producers/exporters
H.N. Indigos Private Limited ..........................................................................................................................................................
RSA Marines/Royal Oceans ..........................................................................................................................................................
Companies Not Selected for Individual Review 7 ..........................................................................................................................
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce
has determined, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries of subject merchandise in
accordance with the final results of this
review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1),
because HN Indigos and RSA Marines
reported the entered value for their U.S.
sales, we 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 for which entered
value was reported. Where the
respondent’s weighted-average dumping
margin is zero or de minimis within the
meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an
importer-specific rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
For the companies that were not
selected for individual examination, we
used, as the assessment rate, the average
of the cash deposit rates assigned to HN
Indigos and RSA Marines, in accordance
with our practice.8 The final results of
this review shall be the basis for the
assessment of antidumping duties on
entries of merchandise covered by the
final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where
applicable.9
Commerce’s ‘‘automatic assessment’’
practice will apply to entries of subject
merchandise during the POR produced
by HN Indigos or RSA Marines for
which the reviewed companies did not
know that the merchandise they sold to
the intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading
company, or exporter) was destined for
the United States. In such instances, we
will instruct CBP to liquidate
unreviewed entries at the all-others rate
if there is no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.10
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a
timely summons is filed at the U.S.
Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will 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).

dated concurrently with, and hereby adopted by,
this notice (Issues and Decision Memorandum).
5 For a complete description of the scope of the
order, see Preliminary Results PDM at 4–5.
6 See Issues and Decision Memorandum at 2. We
made no changes to the calculation of RSA Marines’
preliminary weighted-average dumping margin.
7 This rate is based on the weighted-average of the
margins calculated for the companies selected for
individual review using the publicly-ranged U.S.
quantities. Because we cannot apply our normal
methodology of calculating a weighted-average
margin due to requests to protect business
proprietary information, we find this rate to be the
best proxy of the actual weighted-average margin
determined for the mandatory respondents. See Ball
Bearings and Parts Thereof from France, Germany,
Italy, Japan, and the United Kingdom: Final Results

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

merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all-other manufacturers or
exporters will continue to be 10.17
percent, the all-others rate established
in the LTFV investigation.11 These
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 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.

Methodology
Commerce is conducting these
circumvention inquiries in accordance
with section 781(b) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.225(h). For a full description of
the methodology underlying
Commerce’s final determinations, see

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and
rebuttal briefs by parties in these
inquiries are addressed in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum. A list of the
issues raised is attached to this notice as
an appendix. Based on our analysis of
the comments received, we made a
change to the Preliminary
Determinations.
Final Affirmative Determinations
As detailed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, we determine that
welded OCTG assembled or completed
in Brunei or the Philippines using
inputs manufactured in China and
subsequently exported from Brunei or
the Philippines to the United States are
circumventing the antidumping and
countervailing duty orders on OCTG
from China. Therefore, we determine
that it is appropriate to include this
merchandise within the scope of the
antidumping and countervailing duty
orders of OCTG from China and to
instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend
any entries of merchandise produced
using Chinese inputs in Brunei or the
Philippines and exported to the United
States.
Continued Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.225(l)(3), based on these final
determinations in these circumvention
inquiries, Commerce will direct CBP to
continue to suspend liquidation and to
require a cash deposit of estimated
duties on unliquidated entries of

Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From India: Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2019-2020
AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that
producers and/or exporters of certain frozen warmwater shrimp (shrimp)
from India made sales at less than normal value during the period of
review (POR) February 1, 2019, through January 31, 2020.
DATES: Applicable November 26, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Adam Simons, AD/CVD Operations, Office

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This administrative review covers 154 producers and/or exporters of
the subject merchandise. Commerce selected two mandatory respondents
for individual examination: H.N. Indigos Private Limited (HN Indigos)
and RSA Marines. The producers/exporters not selected for individual
examination are listed in the ``Final Results of the Review'' section
of this notice.
On June 25, 2021, Commerce published the Preliminary Results.\1\ On
August 2, 2021, we received case briefs from HN Indigos and RSA
Marines. On August 9, 2021, we received rebuttal briefs from the
petitioner \2\ and the American Shrimp Processors Association. On
October 14, 2021, we postponed the final results to no later than
November 19, 2021.\3\ For a complete discussion of the events that
occurred since the Preliminary Results, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum.\4\

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,

Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs are listed in
Appendix I to this notice and addressed in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum. Interested parties can find a complete discussion of these
issues and the corresponding recommendations in this public memorandum,
which is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and
Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at https://access.trade.gov/public/FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we made certain
changes to the preliminary weighted-average margin calculations for HN
Indigos and the companies not selected for individual review.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at 2. We made no changes
to the calculation of RSA Marines' preliminary weighted-average
dumping margin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of the Review
As a result of this review, we determine the following weighted-
average dumping margins for the period February 1, 2019, through
January 31, 2020:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ This rate is based on the weighted-average of the margins
calculated for the companies selected for individual review using
the publicly-ranged U.S. quantities. Because we cannot apply our
normal methodology of calculating a weighted-average margin due to
requests to protect business proprietary information, we find this
rate to be the best proxy of the actual weighted-average margin
determined for the mandatory respondents. See Ball Bearings and
Parts Thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United
Kingdom: Final Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Reviews,
Final Results of Changed-Circumstances Review, and Revocation of an
Order in Part, 75 FR 53661, 53663 (September 1, 2010); see also

the Final Results,'' dated concurrently with this notice.

Disclosure of Calculations
We intend to disclose the calculations performed for HN Indigos in
connection with these final results within five days of the date of
publication of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce has determined,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping
duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance
with the final results of this review.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), because HN Indigos and RSA
Marines reported the entered value for their U.S. sales, we 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 for which entered value
was reported. Where the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is
zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an
importer-specific rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
For the companies that were not selected for individual
examination, we used, as the assessment rate, the average of the cash
deposit rates assigned to HN Indigos and RSA Marines, in accordance
with our practice.\8\ The final results of this review shall be the
basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by the final results of this review and for future
deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See, e.g., Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India: Final
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review; 2016-2017, 83 FR
32835 (July 16, 2018).
\9\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice will apply to entries
of subject merchandise during the POR produced by HN Indigos or RSA
Marines for which the reviewed companies did not know that the
merchandise they sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading
company, or exporter) was destined for the United States. In such
instances, we will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the
all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
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).
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
[[Page 67442]]
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 less-than-fair-value (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 10.17 percent, the all-
others rate established in the LTFV investigation.\11\ These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See Notice of Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order, 70 FR 5147, 5148
(February 1, 2005).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 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.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under the APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of
the proceeding. 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 this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.
Dated: November 19, 2021.
