Notification to Interested Parties
This determination is issued and
published in accordance with sections
703(f) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.205(c).
Dated: March 25, 2024.
Abdelali Elouaradia,
Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement
and Compliance.
Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation
The scope of this investigation includes
certain frozen warmwater shrimp and prawns
whether wild-caught (ocean harvested) or
farm-raised (produced by aquaculture), headon or head-off, shell-on or peeled, tail-on or
tail-off, deveined or not deveined, cooked or
raw, or otherwise processed in frozen form.
‘‘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, regardless of
definitions in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS), 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, whiteleg 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. 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.
Excluded from the scope are: (1) breaded
shrimp and prawns (HTSUS subheading
1605.21.1020); (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 (HTSUS subheadings 0306.36.0020
and 0306.36.0040); (4) shrimp and prawns in
prepared meals (HTSUS subheadings
1605.21.0500 and 1605.29.0500); (5) dried
shrimp and prawns; (6) canned warmwater
shrimp and prawns (HTSUS subheading
1605.29.1040); 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 ten 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 the scope are
currently classified under the following
HTSUS 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, 0306.17.0041,
0306.17.0042, 1605.21.1030, and
1605.29.1010. These HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and for customs
purposes only and are not dispositive, but
rather the written description of the scope is
dispositive.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
This preliminary determination is
made in accordance with section 703(b)
of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended
(the Act). On November 21, 2023,
Commerce published in the Federal
Register the notice of initiation of this
investigation.1 On December 7, 2023,
Commerce postponed the preliminary
determination of this investigation until
March 25, 2024.2
For a complete description of the
events that followed the initiation of
this investigation, see the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.3 A list of topics
discussed in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum is included as Appendix
II to this notice. The Preliminary
Decision Memorandum is a public
document and 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 Preliminary Decision
Memorandum can be accessed directly
at https://access.trade.gov/public/
FRNoticesListLayout.aspx.
Scope of the Investigation
The product covered by this
investigation is shrimp from India. For
a complete description of the scope of
this investigation, see Appendix I.

Scope Comments
In accordance with the preamble to
Commerce’s regulations,4 in the
Initiation Notice Commerce set aside a
period of time for parties to raise issues
regarding product coverage (i.e., scope).5
No interested party commented on the
scope of the investigation as it appeared
in the Initiation Notice.
Methodology
Commerce is conducting this
investigation in accordance with section
701 of the Act. For each of the subsidy
programs found countervailable,
Commerce preliminarily determines
that there is a subsidy, i.e., a financial
contribution by an ‘‘authority’’ that
gives rise to a benefit to the recipient,
and that the subsidy is specific.6
Alignment
As noted in the Preliminary Decision
Memorandum, in accordance with
section 705(a)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.210(b)(4), Commerce is aligning the
final countervailing duty (CVD)
determination in this investigation with
the final determinations in the
companion antidumping duty (AD)
investigations of shrimp from Ecuador
and Indonesia, based on a request made
by the petitioner.7 Consequently, the
final CVD determination will be issued
on the same date as the final AD
determinations, which are currently
scheduled to be issued no later than
August 5, 2024, unless postponed.
All-Others Rate
Sections 703(d) and 705(c)(5)(A) of
the Act provide that, in the preliminary
determination, Commerce shall
determine an estimated all-others rate
for companies not individually
examined. This rate shall be an amount
equal to the weighted average of the
estimated subsidy rates established for
those companies individually
examined, excluding any zero and de
minimis rates and any rates based
entirely under section 776 of the Act.
In this investigation, Commerce
preliminarily calculated individual
estimated countervailable subsidy rates
for Devi Sea Foods Limited (Devi) and
Sandhya Aqua Exports Pvt. Ltd.
(Sandhya) that are not zero, de minimis,
or based entirely on facts otherwise
4 See Antidumping Duties; Countervailing Duties,
Final Rule, 62 FR 27296, 27323 (May 19, 1997).
5 See Initiation Notice, 88 FR at 81054.
6 See sections 771(5)(B) and (D) of the Act
regarding financial contribution; section 771(5)(E)
of the Act regarding benefit; and section 771(5A) of
the Act regarding specificity.
