The U.S. Department of Commerce is beginning a fast-tracked review of the countervailing duty order on shrimp from Ecuador, originally established on December 26, 2024. This review was requested by six companies that were not individually examined in the initial investigation and aims to determine individual cash deposit rates or potentially exclude companies with minimal duties. The review period will mirror the original investigation's timeframe from January 1, 2022, to December 31, 2022. Submissions for this review must meet specific electronic filing requirements, and all involved parties need to follow particular certification rules for submitting factual information.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. government is taking a quick second look at some rules about how certain shrimp from Ecuador are sold in the U.S. so they can decide if each company pays the right amount of money when these shrimp are sold here. This is to make sure everything is fair and following the rules.
