China: Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review 
and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2019-2020

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines 
that four exporters of certain frozen warmwater shrimp (shrimp) from 
the People's Republic of China (China) had no shipments during the 
period of review (POR), February 1, 2019, through January 31, 2020. 
Commerce also preliminarily determines that the 125 remaining companies 
subject to this review are part of the China-wide entity because they 
failed to demonstrate their eligibility for separate rates.

DATES: Applicable March 22, 2021.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jasun Moy, AD/CVD Operations, Office 
V, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On April 8, 2020, Commerce published in the Federal Register a 
notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping 
duty order on shrimp from China for 129 \1\ producers/exporters.\2\ 
Subsequently, we released U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data 
to interested parties for comment.\3\ We received comments from the 
petitioner \4\ and an additional domestic interested party, the 
American Shrimp Processors Association (ASPA).\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ In determining this number, we treated two company groups as 
single entities. These groups are: (1) Allied Pacific Aquatic 
Products (Zhanjiang) Co., Ltd./Allied Pacific Food (Dalian) Co., 
Ltd./Allied Pacific (HK) Co., Ltd. (collectively, Allied Pacific) 
and Shantou Red Garden Food Processing Co., Ltd./Shantou Red Garden 
Foodstuff Co., Ltd. (collectively, Shantou Red Garden Foods). For 
further discussion, see Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the 
People's Republic of China and Diamond Sawblades and Parts Thereof 
from the People's Republic of China: Notice of Implementation of 
Determinations Under Section 129 of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act 
and Partial Revocation of the Antidumping Duty Orders, 78 FR 18958, 
18959 (March 28, 2013) (Exclusion Notice); and Certain Frozen 
Warmwater Shrimp from the People's Republic of China: Final Results 
of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final Determination of 
No Shipments; 2018-2019, 85 FR 83891 (December 23, 2020) and 
accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum.
    \2\ See Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 
Administrative Reviews, 85 FR 19730 (April 8, 2020) (Initiation 
Notice). On May 6, 2020, Commerce made a correction to the 
Initiation Notice because two companies were inadvertently combined 
on a single line; see Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing 
Duty Administrative Reviews, 85 FR 26931 (May 6, 2020).
    \3\ See Memorandum, ``Release of U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection Data,'' dated April 15, 2020.
    \4\ The petitioner is the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee. 
See Petitioner's Letter, ``Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the 
People's Republic of China: Comments on Respondent Selection,'' 
dated April 22, 2020.
    \5\ See ASPA's Letter, ``Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from 
China: ASPA's Comments on CBP Data,'' dated April 22, 2020.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    We received timely certifications from the following exporters that 
they had not shipped subject merchandise or had not shipped subject 
merchandise produced by any other entity during the POR: (1) Allied 
Pacific; \6\ (2) Shantou Red Garden Foods; \7\ (3) Zhangzhou Hongwei 
Foods Co., Ltd. (Zhangzhou Hongwei); \8\ and (4) Zhanjiang Guolian 
Aquatic Products Co., Ltd. (Zhanjiang Guolian).\9\ We did not receive a 
no-shipment statement, separate rate application (SRA), or separate 
rate certificate (SRC) from any other company subject to this review. 
Subsequently, CBP confirmed that each of the exporters identified above 
made no shipments of subject merchandise to the United States during 
the POR.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ Allied Pacific is excluded from the order with respect to 
merchandise exported by Allied Pacific (HK) Co., Ltd., or Allied 
Pacific Food (Dalian) Co., Ltd., and manufactured by Allied Pacific 
Aquatic Products (Zhanjiang) Co., Ltd., or Allied Pacific Aquatic 
Products (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd., or Allied Pacific Food (Dalian) Co., 
Ltd. See Exclusion Notice, 78 FR at 18959. Allied Pacific submitted 
a no shipment certification for exports outside the above 
combination. See Allied Pacific's Letter, ``Certain Frozen Warmwater 
Shrimp from the People's Republic of China: Notice of No 
Shipments,'' dated April 27, 2020.
    \7\ See Shantou Red Garden Food's Letter, ``Frozen Warmwater 
Shrimp from the People's Republic of China; Certification of No 
Sales,'' dated April 28, 2020. These exporters were inadvertently 
listed as separate entities in the Initiation Notice.
    \8\ See Zhangzhou Hongwei's Letter, ``Frozen Warmwater Shrimp 
from the PRC; A-570-893; No Shipment Certification and Comment on 
Shipments,'' dated May 7, 2020.

merchandise produced and exported byZhanjiang Guolian. See Notice of 
Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and 
Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the 
People's Republic of China, 70 FR 5149, 5152 (February 1, 2005). 
Zhanjiang Guolian submitted a no shipment certification for exports 
outside the above combination. See Zhanjiang Guolian's Letter, 
``Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from the People's Republic of 
China: Notice of No Shipments,'' dated May 15, 2020.

    On April 24, 2020, Commerce exercised its discretion to toll 
administrative review deadlines by 50 days.\11\ On July 21, 2020, 
Commerce exercised its discretion to toll administrative review 
deadlines by an additional 60 days.\12\ Finally, on January 13, 2021, 
Commerce determined that it was not practicable to complete the 
preliminary results by the current deadline and extended the time limit 
by an additional 62 days.\13\ The revised deadline for the preliminary 
results of this review is now April 21, 2021.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scope of the Order

    The products covered by this order are shrimp from China. For a 
complete description of the scope, see Appendix II.

Methodology

    Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 
751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 
CFR 351.213.

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

    Based on the available record information, Commerce preliminarily 
determines that Allied Pacific, Shantou Red Garden Foods, Zhangzhou 
Hongwei, and Zhanjiang Guolian had no shipments during the POR. 
Consistent with our assessment practice in non-market economy 
administrative reviews, Commerce is not rescinding this review for 
Allied Pacific, Shantou Red Garden Foods, Zhangzhou Hongwei, and 
Zhanjiang Guolian, but intends to complete the review and issue 
appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of the 
review.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \14\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment 
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694-95 (October 24, 2011); see also 
the ``Assessment Rates'' section, below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Separate Rates

    Because 125 companies under review did not submit an SRA or SRC, 
Commerce preliminarily determines that these companies have not 
demonstrated their eligibility for a separate rate. See Appendix I.

China-Wide Entity

    Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide 
entity applies to this administrative review.\15\ Under this policy, 
the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party 
specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the 
entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, 
and we did not self-initiate a review, the China-wide entity rate 
(i.e., 112.81 percent) is not subject to change as a result of this 
review.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty 
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity

Than Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Frozen Warmwater 
Shrimp from the People's Republic of China, 70 FR 5149 (February 1, 
2005).

Public Comment

    In accordance with 19 CFR 351.309(c), case briefs or other written 
comments may be submitted to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement 
and Compliance no later than 30 days after the date of publication of 
these preliminary results, unless the Secretary alters the time limit. 
Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in case briefs, may be 
submitted no later than seven days after the deadline date for case 
briefs.\17\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), parties who 
submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this review are encouraged to 
submit with each argument: (1) A statement of the issue; (2) a brief 
summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities. Note that 
Commerce has temporarily modified certain of its requirements for

further notice.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \17\ See 19 CFR 351.309; see also 19 CFR 351.303 (for general 
filing requirements).
    \18\ See Temporary Rule Modifying AD/CVD Service Requirements 
Due to COVID-19; Extension of Effective Period, 85 FR 41363 (July 
10, 2020).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to 
request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal 
briefs, must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for 
Enforcement and Compliance, U.S. Department of Commerce, within 30 days 
after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain 
the party's name, address, and telephone number, the number of 
participants, whether any participant is a foreign national, and a list 
of the issues to be discussed. Issues raised in the hearing will be 
limited to issues raised in the respective case and rebuttal briefs. If 
a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing 
at a date and time to be determined.\19\ Parties should confirm the 
date and time of the hearing two days before the scheduled date. 
Parties are reminded that all briefs and hearing requests must be filed 
electronically using ACCESS and received successfully in their entirety 
by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the due date.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \19\ See 19 CFR 351.310(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Unless the deadline is extended pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of 
the Act, Commerce intends to issue the final results of this 
administrative review, including the results of our analysis of the 
issues raised by the parties in their comments, within 120 days after 
publication of these preliminary results.

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuance of the final results of this review, Commerce will 
determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries of subject merchandise covered by this review.\20\ We intend to 
instruct CBP to liquidate entries containing subject merchandise 
exported by the companies under review that we determine in the final 
results to be part of the China-wide entity at the China-wide rate of 
112.81 percent. 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).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \20\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this review for shipments of 
subject merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 
for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by 
sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For previously-investigated or 
reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters not listed above that 
received a separate rate in a prior segment of this proceeding, the 
cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific 
rate; (2) for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have 
not been found to be entitled to a separate rate (including the 
companies listed in

[[Page 15197]]

Appendix I), the cash deposit rate will be that for the China-wide 
entity (i.e., 112.81 percent); and (3) for all non-Chinese exporters of 
subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash 
deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter that 
supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These cash deposit requirements, 
when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

    This notice also serves as a reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 315.402(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 Commerce's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

    We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(4).

    Dated: March 16, 2021.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.

Appendix II--Scope of the Order

    The scope of the order 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,\21\ deveined or not deveined, cooked or raw, or 
otherwise processed in frozen form.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \21\ ``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 (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

[[Page 15198]]

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

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 1605.20.1020); (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 (HTS subheadings 0306.23.0020 and 
0306.23.0040); (4) shrimp and prawns in prepared meals (HTS 
subheading 1605.20.0510); (5) dried shrimp and prawns; (6) Lee Kum

(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: 0306.17.00.03, 0306.17.00.06, 
0306.17.00.09, 0306.17.00.12, 0306.17.00.15, 0306.17.00.18,

for convenience and for customs purposes only; the written 
description of the scope of this order is dispositive.\22\

    \22\ On April 26, 2011, Commerce amended the Order to include 
dusted shrimp, pursuant to the U.S. Court of International Trade 
(CIT) decision in Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee v. United 
States, 703 F. Supp. 2d 1330 (CIT 2010) and the U.S. International 
Trade Commission determination, which found the domestic like 
product to include dusted shrimp. See Certain Frozen Warmwater 
Shrimp from Brazil, India, the People's Republic of China, Thailand,
