The US International Trade Commission has voted to continue levying anti-dumping duties on frozen warmwater shrimp from China, India, Thailand, and Vietnam, and helical spring lock washers from China and Taiwan.

Under the Uruguay Round Agreements Act, an anti-dumping or countervailing duty (CVD) order must be reviewed after five years.

The duties must be repealed unless it is determined that doing so would lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping – or in the case of countervailing duties, the continuation of unfair subsidization – that would cause material injury to the domestic industry within a reasonably foreseeable time.

As part of its vote, the USITC decided to revoke the existing AD orders on imports of frozen warmwater shrimp from Brazil.
