SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On December 29, 2020, Commerce published its final results in the 
2018-2019 AD administrative review of shrimp from India.\1\ Commerce 
calculated a weighted-average dumping margin of 3.06 percent for ZA Sea 
Foods and assigned a dumping margin of 3.06 percent to B-One Business 
House Pvt. Ltd., Hari Marine Private Limited, Magnum Export, Megaa Moda 
Pvt. Ltd., Milsha Agro Exports Private Limited, Sea Foods Private 
Limited, Shimpo Exports Private Limited, Five Star Marine Exports 
Private Limited, HN Indigos Private Limited, RSA Marines, and Zeal Aqua 
Limited (the other Indian shrimp respondents).\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ See Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from India: Final 
Results of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and Final 
Determination of No Shipments; 2018-2019, 85 FR 85580 (December 29, 
2020) (Final Results).
    \2\ Id. at 85581.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    ZA Sea Foods and the other Indian shrimp respondents appealed 
Commerce's Final Results. On April 19, 2022, the CIT remanded the Final 
Results, finding that Commerce's decision to reject ZA Sea Foods' third 
country sales and rely on constructed value (CV) for the calculation of 
normal value (NV) was not supported by substantial evidence.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Z.A. Sea Foods Private Ltd. v. United States, Slip Op. 
22-36, Consol. Court No. 21-00031 (CIT 2022).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In its final remand redetermination, issued in July 2022, Commerce 
determined that there was insufficient record evidence to find that ZA 
Sea Foods' third country Vietnamese sales were unrepresentative and 
unsuitable for use in the calculation of NV and recalculated the 
weighted-average dumping margin for ZA Sea Foods by relying on ZA Sea 
Foods' third country Vietnamese sales during the period of review.\4\ 
As a result, Commerce calculated a revised weighted-average dumping 
margin for ZA Sea Foods of 1.73 percent. Moreover, as a result of 
Commerce's recalculation of the weighted-average dumping margin for ZA 
Sea Foods, Commerce revised the review-specific average rate assigned 
to the other Indian shrimp respondents to 1.73 percent. The CIT 
sustained Commerce's Final Remand Results.\5\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remand, Consol. Court No. No. 21-00031, dated July 18, 2022 (Final 
Remand Results) at 1.

Timken Notice

    In its decision in Timken,\6\ as clarified by Diamond Sawblades,\7\ 
the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to 
section 516A(c) and (e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 
Act), Commerce must publish a notice of a court decision that is not 
``in harmony'' with a Commerce determination and must suspend 
liquidation of entries pending a ``conclusive'' court decision.\8\ The 
CIT's December 6, 2022, judgment in this case constitutes a final 
decision of that court that is not in harmony with Commerce's Final 
Results. This notice is published in fulfillment of the publication 
requirements of Timken.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See Timken Co. v. United States, 893 F.2d 337, 341 (Fed. 
Cir. 1990) (Timken).

Amended Final Results

    Because there is now a final court judgment, Commerce is amending 
its Final Results with respect to ZA Sea Foods and the other Indian 
shrimp respondents as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Weighted-
                                                                average
                      Exporter/producer                         dumping
                                                                margin
                                                               (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Z.A. Sea Foods Pvt. Ltd.....................................        1.73
B-One Business House Pvt. Ltd...............................        1.73
Hari Marine Private Limited.................................        1.73
Magnum Export...............................................        1.73
Megaa Moda Pvt. Ltd.........................................        1.73
Milsha Agro Exports Private Limited.........................        1.73
Sea Foods Private Limited...................................        1.73
Shimpo Exports Private Limited..............................        1.73
Five Star Marine Exports Private Limited....................        1.73
HN Indigos Private Limited..................................        1.73
RSA Marines.................................................        1.73
Zeal Aqua Limited...........................................        1.73
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Commerce will issue revised cash deposit instruction to U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
    Because Hari Marine Private Limited, HN Indigos Private Limited, 
Megaa Moda Pvt. Ltd., Milsha Agro Exports Private Limited, RSA Marines, 
Shimpo Exports Private Limited, and Zeal Aqua Limited have a 
superseding cash deposit rate, i.e., there have been final results 
published in a subsequent administrative review, we will not issue 
revised cash deposit instructions to CBP for these those producers/
exporters. This notice will not affect the current cash deposit rate 
for them. For all exporters/producers that do not have a superseding 
cash deposit rate, Commerce will issue revised cash deposit 
instructions to CBP.

Liquidation of Suspended Entries

    At this time, Commerce remains enjoined by CIT order from 
liquidating entries that were produced and exported

[[Page 76182]]

by Z.A. Sea Foods, B-One Business House Pvt. Ltd., Hari Marine Private 
Limited, Magnum Export, Megaa Moda Pvt. Ltd., Milsha Agro Exports 
Private Limited, Sea Foods Private Limited, Shimpo Exports Private 
Limited, Five Star Marine Exports Private Limited, HN Indigos Private 
Limited, RSA Marines, and Zeal Aqua Limited, and were entered, or 
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after February 1, 2018, 
up to and including January 31, 2019. These entries will remain 
enjoined pursuant to the terms of the injunction during the pendency of 
any appeals process.
    In the event that the CIT's final judgment is not appealed or, if 
appealed, is upheld by a final and conclusive court decision, Commerce 
will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on unliquidated entries 
of subject merchandise produced and exported by Z.A. Sea Foods, B-One 
Business House Pvt. Ltd., Hari Marine Private Limited, Magnum Export, 
Megaa Moda Pvt. Ltd., Milsha Agro Exports Private Limited, Sea Foods 
Private Limited, Shimpo Exports Private Limited, Five Star Marine 
Exports Private Limited, HN Indigos Private Limited, RSA Marines, and 
Zeal Aqua Limited, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b). We will 
instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries 
covered by this review when the importer-specific ad valorem assessment 
rate is not zero or de minimis. Where an importer-specific ad valorem 
assessment rate is zero or de minimis,\9\ we will instruct CBP to 
liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
