AD Order
On December 12, 2024, in accordance
with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC
notified Commerce of its final
determinations that an industry in the
United States is materially injured
within the meaning of section
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of
imports of shrimp from Indonesia that
are sold in the United States at LTFV.5
Therefore, in accordance with sections
735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, Commerce
is issuing this AD order. Because the
ITC determined that imports of shrimp
from Indonesia are materially injuring a
U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of
such merchandise from Indonesia,
entered or withdrawn from warehouse
for consumption, are subject to the
assessment of antidumping duties.
Therefore, in accordance with section
736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will
direct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further
instruction by Commerce, antidumping
duty deposits equal to the amount by
which the normal value of the
merchandise exceeds the export price
(or constructed export price) of the
merchandise on all relevant entries of
shrimp from Indonesia. Antidumping
duties will be assessed on unliquidated
entries of shrimp entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or
after May 30, 2024, the date of
publication of the LTFV Preliminary
Determination,6 but will not include
entries occurring after the expiration of
the provisional measures period and
before publication of the ITC’s final
injury determination, as further
described below.
Continuation of Suspension of
Liquidation and Cash Deposits—AD
Except as noted in the ‘‘Provisional
Measures—AD’’ section of this notice,
Commerce intends to instruct CBP to
continue to suspend liquidation on all
relevant entries of shrimp from
Indonesia, in accordance with section
736 of the Act. Because the estimated
weighted-average dumping margin
calculated for PT Bahari Makmur Sejati
(BMS) in the Final Determination was
zero,7 entries of subject merchandise
produced and exported by BMS will not
be subject to this order. Accordingly,
Commerce will direct CBP not to
suspend liquidation of, or to require

duties on, entries of subject
merchandise produced and exported by
BMS. Therefore, in accordance with
section 735(a)(4) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.204(e)(1), entries of subject
merchandise from this producer/
exporter combination will be excluded
from the order. However, entries of
subject merchandise from BMS in any
other producer/exporter combination, or
by third parties that sourced subject
merchandise from the excluded
producer/exporter combination, will be
subject to suspension of liquidation and
cash deposits of estimated antidumping
duties at the all-others rate noted below.
These instructions suspending
liquidations will remain in effect until
further notice.
Commerce also intends to instruct
CBP to require cash deposits equal to
the estimated weighted-average
dumping margins indicated in the tables
below. Accordingly, effective on the
date of publication in the Federal
Register of the notice of the ITC’s final
affirmative injury determination, CBP
must require, at the same time as
importers would normally deposit
estimated customs duties on subject
merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the
rates listed in the table below.
period to no more than six months.8 In
the underlying investigation, Commerce
published the LTFV Preliminary
Determination on May 30, 2024.
Therefore, the six-month period
beginning on the date of the publication
of the LTFV Preliminary Determination
ended on November 25, 2024. Pursuant
to section 737(b) of the Act, the
collection of cash deposits at the rates
listed above will begin on the date of
publication of the ITC’s final injury
determination. Therefore, in accordance
with section 736(a)(1) of the Act and our
practice, Commerce will instruct CBP to
terminate the suspension of liquidation
and to liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, unliquidated
entries of shrimp from Indonesia
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after November
26, 2024, the first day provisional
measures were no longer in effect, until
and through the day preceding the date
of publication of the ITC’s final injury
determination in the Federal Register.
Suspension of liquidation and the
collection of cash deposits will resume
on the date of publication of the ITC’s
final determination in the Federal
Register.

In accordance with section 706 of the
Act, Commerce intends to instruct CBP

Federal Register, and to assess, upon
further instruction by Commerce,

subject merchandise in an amount based
on the net countervailable subsidy rates
below. On or after the date of

CBP must require, at the same time as
importers would normally deposit
estimated customs duties on this
merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the
rates listed in the table below. These

Establishment of the Annual Inquiry
Service Lists
On September 20, 2021, Commerce
published the Final Rule in the Federal
Register.16 On September 27, 2021,
Commerce also published the
Procedural Guidance in the Federal
Register.17 The Final Rule and
Procedural Guidance provide that
Commerce will maintain an annual
inquiry service list for each order or
suspended investigation, and any
interested party submitting a scope
ruling application or request for
circumvention inquiry shall serve a
copy of the application or request on the
persons on the annual inquiry service
list for that order, as well as any
companion order covering the same
merchandise from the same country of
origin.
In accordance with the Procedural
Guidance, for orders published in the
Federal Register after November 4,
2021, Commerce will create an annual
inquiry service list segment in
Commerce’s online e-filing and
document management system,
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Electronic Service System (ACCESS),
available at https://access.trade.gov,
within five business days of publication
of the notice of the order. Each annual
inquiry service list will be saved in
ACCESS, under each case number, and
under a specific segment type called
‘‘AISL-Annual Inquiry Service List.’’ 18
16 See Regulations to Improve Administration and
Enforcement of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Laws, 86 FR 52300 (September 20, 2021)

Interested parties who wish to be
added to the annual inquiry service list
for an order must submit an entry of
appearance to the annual inquiry
service list segment for the order in
ACCESS within 30 days after the date of
publication of the order. For ease of
administration, Commerce requests that
law firms with more than one attorney
representing interested parties in an
order designate a lead attorney to be
included on the annual inquiry service
list. Commerce will finalize the annual
inquiry service list within five business
days thereafter. As mentioned in the
Procedural Guidance,19 the new annual
inquiry service list will be in place until
the following year, when the
Opportunity Notice for the anniversary
month of the order is published.
Commerce may update an annual
inquiry service list at any time as
needed based on interested parties’
amendments to their entries of
appearance to remove or otherwise
modify their list of members and
representatives, or to update contact
information. Any changes or
announcements pertaining to these
procedures will be posted to the
ACCESS website at https://
access.trade.gov.
Special Instructions for Petitioner and
Foreign Governments
In the Final Rule, Commerce stated
that, ‘‘after an initial request and
placement on the annual inquiry service
list, both petitioners and foreign
governments will automatically be
the anniversary month. For example, for an order
under case number A–000–000 that was published
in the Federal Register in January, the relevant
segment and SSI combination will appear in
ACCESS as ‘‘AISL-January Anniversary.’’ Note that
there will be only one annual inquiry service list
segment per case number, and the anniversary
month will be pre-populated in ACCESS.

Accordingly, as stated above, the
petitioner and the Governments of
Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam
should submit their initial entries of
appearance after publication of this
notice in order to appear in the first
annual inquiry service lists for these
orders. Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.225(n)(3), the petitioner and the
Governments of Ecuador, India,
Indonesia, and Vietnam will not need to
resubmit their entries of appearance
each year to continue to be included on
the annual inquiry service list.
However, the petitioner and the
Governments of Ecuador, India,
Indonesia, and Vietnam are responsible
for making amendments to their entries
of appearance during the annual update
to the annual inquiry service list in
accordance with the procedures
described above.

Appendix
Scope of the Orders
The scope of these orders 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,

0306.17.0023, 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
In accordance with sections 705(d), 735(d), and 777(i) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), on October 28, 2024, Commerce
published its affirmative final determination of sales at less than
fair value (LTFV) of shrimp from Indonesia,\1\ and its affirmative
final determinations that countervailable subsidies are being provided
to producers and exporters of shrimp from Ecuador, India, and
Vietnam.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less-Than-Fair Value, 89 FR

Countervailing Duty Determination, 89 FR 85506 (October 28, 2024);

and Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam:
Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 89 FR 85500
(October 28, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 12, 2024, pursuant to sections 705(d) and 735(d) of the
Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final affirmative determinations
that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason
of dumped imports of shrimp from Indonesia, and subsidized imports of
shrimp from Ecuador, India, and Vietnam, within the meaning of sections
705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act.\3\ On December 17,
2024, the ITC published its final determinations in the Federal
Register.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See ITC's Letter, ``Notification of ITC Final
Determination,'' dated December 12, 2024 (ITC Notification Letter).
\4\ See Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Ecuador, India, Indonesia,
and Vietnam, 89 FR 102163 (December 17, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these orders is frozen warmwater shrimp
from Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam. For a complete description
of the scope of the orders, see the appendix to this notice.
AD Order
On December 12, 2024, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act,
the ITC notified Commerce of its final determinations that an industry
in the United States is materially injured within the meaning of
section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of imports of shrimp from
Indonesia that are sold in the United States at LTFV.\5\ Therefore, in
accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, Commerce is
issuing this AD order. Because the ITC determined that imports of
shrimp from Indonesia are materially injuring a U.S. industry,
unliquidated entries of such merchandise from Indonesia, entered or
withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment
of antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See ITC Notification Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act,
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duty deposits
equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise
exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the
merchandise on all relevant entries of shrimp from Indonesia.
Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of shrimp
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after May
30, 2024, the date of publication of the LTFV Preliminary
Determination,\6\ but will not include entries occurring after the
expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of
the ITC's final injury determination, as further described below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from Indonesia: Preliminary
Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value,
Postponement of Final Determination, and Extension of Provisional
Measures, 89 FR 46861 (May 30, 2024) (LTFV Preliminary
Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits--AD
Except as noted in the ``Provisional Measures--AD'' section of this
notice, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to continue to suspend
liquidation on all relevant entries of shrimp from Indonesia, in
accordance with section 736 of the Act. Because the estimated weighted-
average dumping margin calculated for PT Bahari Makmur Sejati (BMS) in
the Final Determination was zero,\7\ entries of subject merchandise
produced and exported by BMS will not be subject to this order.
Accordingly, Commerce will direct CBP not to suspend liquidation of, or
to require
[[Page 104983]]
cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties on, entries of subject
merchandise produced and exported by BMS. Therefore, in accordance with
section 735(a)(4) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.204(e)(1), entries of
subject merchandise from this producer/exporter combination will be
excluded from the order. However, entries of subject merchandise from
BMS in any other producer/exporter combination, or by third parties
that sourced subject merchandise from the excluded producer/exporter
combination, will be subject to suspension of liquidation and cash
deposits of estimated antidumping duties at the all-others rate noted
below. These instructions suspending liquidations will remain in effect
until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ Shrimp from Indonesia Final Results, 89 FR at 85499.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to require cash deposits
equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins indicated in
the tables below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in
the Federal Register of the notice of the ITC's final affirmative
injury determination, CBP must require, at the same time as importers
would normally deposit estimated customs duties on subject merchandise,
a cash deposit equal to the rates listed in the table below.
Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins
The estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Weighted-
average
Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
PT Bahari Makmur Sejati..................................... 0.00
PT First Marine Seafoods; PT Khom Foods..................... 3.90
All Others.................................................. 3.90
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Provisional Measures--AD
Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in
effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a
significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request
that Commerce extend the four-month period to no more than six months.
At the request of exporters that accounted for a significant proportion
of exports of shrimp from Indonesia, Commerce extended the four-month
period to no more than six months.\8\ In the underlying investigation,
Commerce published the LTFV Preliminary Determination on May 30, 2024.
Therefore, the six-month period beginning on the date of the
publication of the LTFV Preliminary Determination ended on November 25,
2024. Pursuant to section 737(b) of the Act, the collection of cash
deposits at the rates listed above will begin on the date of
publication of the ITC's final injury determination. Therefore, in
accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act and our practice, Commerce
will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries
of shrimp from Indonesia entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after November 26, 2024, the first day provisional
measures were no longer in effect, until and through the day preceding
the date of publication of the ITC's final injury determination in the
Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash
deposits will resume on the date of publication of the ITC's final
determination in the Federal Register.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See LTFV Preliminary Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CVD Orders
As stated above, based on the above-referenced affirmative final
determination by the ITC that an industry in the United States is
materially injured within the meaning of section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the
Act by reason of subsidized imports of shrimp from Ecuador, India, and
Vietnam,\9\ in accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce
is issuing these CVD orders. Moreover, because the ITC determined that
imports of shrimp from Ecuador, India, and Vietnam are materially
injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of subject merchandise
from Ecuador, India, and Vietnam entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption, are subject to the assessment of countervailing
duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See ITC Notification Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 706(a) of the Act, Commerce
intends to direct CBP to assess, upon further instructions by Commerce,
countervailing duties on all relevant entries of shrimp from Ecuador,
India, and Vietnam, which are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after April 1, 2024, the date of publication of the
CVD Preliminary Determinations,\10\ but will not include entries
occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and
before the publication of the ITC's final injury determination under
section 705(b) of the Act, as further described in the ``Provisional
Measures--CVD'' section of this notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits--CVD
In accordance with section 706 of the Act, Commerce intends to
instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of shrimp
from Ecuador, India, and Vietnam, effective on the date of publication
of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the Federal
Register, and to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, pursuant
to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing duties on each entry of
subject merchandise in an amount based on the net countervailable
subsidy rates below. On or after the date of publication of the ITC's
final injury determination in the Federal Register, CBP must require,
at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated customs
duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates listed in
the table below. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain
in effect until further notice. The all-others rate applies to all
producers or exporters not specifically listed below, as appropriate.
Estimated Countervailing Duty Subsidy Rates
The estimated countervailing duty subsidy rates are as follows:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Section 703(d) of the Act states that the suspension of liquidation
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in
effect for more than four months. Commerce published the CVD
Preliminary Determinations on April 1, 2024.\15\ As such, the four-
month period beginning on the date of the publication of the CVD
Preliminary Determinations ended on July 29, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See CVD Preliminary Determinations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, we
instructed CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to countervailing duties, unliquidated
entries of shrimp from Ecuador, India, and Vietnam or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption, on or after July 30, 2024, the date on
which the provisional measures expired, until and through the day
preceding the date of publication of the ITC's final injury
determination in the Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation and
the collection of cash deposits will resume on the date of publication
of the ITC's final determination in the Federal Register.
Establishment of the Annual Inquiry Service Lists
On September 20, 2021, Commerce published the Final Rule in the
Federal Register.\16\ On September 27, 2021, Commerce also published
the Procedural Guidance in the Federal Register.\17\ The Final Rule and
Procedural Guidance provide that Commerce will maintain an annual
inquiry service list for each order or suspended investigation, and any
interested party submitting a scope ruling application or request for
circumvention inquiry shall serve a copy of the application or request
on the persons on the annual inquiry service list for that order, as
well as any companion order covering the same merchandise from the same
country of origin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See Regulations to Improve Administration and Enforcement
of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Laws, 86 FR 52300 (September
20, 2021) (Final Rule).
\17\ See Scope Ruling Application; Annual Inquiry Service List;
and Informational Sessions, 86 FR 53205 (September 27, 2021)
(Procedural Guidance).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with the Procedural Guidance, for orders published in
the Federal Register after November 4, 2021, Commerce will create an
annual inquiry service list segment in Commerce's online e-filing and
document management system, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Electronic Service System (ACCESS), available at https://access.trade.gov, within five business days of publication of the
notice of the order. Each annual inquiry service list will be saved in
ACCESS, under each case number, and under a specific segment type
called ``AISL-Annual Inquiry Service List.'' \18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\18\ This segment will be combined with the ACCESS Segment
Specific Information (SSI) field which will display the month in
which the notice of the order or suspended investigation was
published in the Federal Register, also known as the anniversary
month. For example, for an order under case number A-000-000 that
was published in the Federal Register in January, the relevant
segment and SSI combination will appear in ACCESS as ``AISL-January
Anniversary.'' Note that there will be only one annual inquiry
service list segment per case number, and the anniversary month will
be pre-populated in ACCESS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interested parties who wish to be added to the annual inquiry
service list for an order must submit an entry of appearance to the
annual inquiry service list segment for the order in ACCESS within 30
days after the date of publication of the order. For ease of
administration, Commerce requests that law firms with more than one
attorney representing interested parties in an order designate a lead
attorney to be included on the annual inquiry service list. Commerce
will finalize the annual inquiry service list within five business days
thereafter. As mentioned in the Procedural Guidance,\19\ the new annual
inquiry service list will be in place until the following year, when
the Opportunity Notice for the anniversary month of the order is
published.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ See Procedural Guidance, 86 FR at 53206.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce may update an annual inquiry service list at any time as
needed based on interested parties' amendments to their entries of
appearance to remove or otherwise modify their list of members and
representatives, or to update contact information. Any changes or
announcements pertaining to these procedures will be posted to the
ACCESS website at https://access.trade.gov.
Special Instructions for Petitioner and Foreign Governments
In the Final Rule, Commerce stated that, ``after an initial request
and placement on the annual inquiry service list, both petitioners and
foreign governments will automatically be
[[Page 104985]]
placed on the annual inquiry service list in the years that follow.''
\20\ Accordingly, as stated above, the petitioner and the Governments
of Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam should submit their initial
entries of appearance after publication of this notice in order to
appear in the first annual inquiry service lists for these orders.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(n)(3), the petitioner and the Governments of
Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam will not need to resubmit their
entries of appearance each year to continue to be included on the
annual inquiry service list. However, the petitioner and the
Governments of Ecuador, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam are responsible
for making amendments to their entries of appearance during the annual
update to the annual inquiry service list in accordance with the
procedures described above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\20\ See Final Rule, 86 FR at 52335.

Appendix
Scope of the Orders
The scope of these orders includes certain frozen warmwater
shrimp and prawns whether wild-caught (ocean harvested) or farm-
raised (produced by aquaculture), head-on 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.
