determine if Highland Agro Food 

Private Limited (HA Food) is the 

successor-in-interest to Highland Agro 

in the context of the antidumping duty 

(AD) order on certain frozen warmwater 

shrimp (shrimp) from India. We 

preliminarily determine that HA Food is 

the successor-in-interest to Highland

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On February 1, 2005, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register an AD 

order on shrimp from India.1 On July 6, 

2023, HA Food requested that, pursuant 

to section 751(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act), 19 CFR 

351.216, and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), 

Commerce conduct an expedited CCR of 

the Order to determine that HA Food is 

the successor-in-interest to Highland 

Agro and, accordingly, to assign it the 

cash deposit rate of Highland Agro.2 In 

its submission, HA Food stated that in 

2022, Highland Agro undertook a name 

change to HA Food and changed its 

corporate structure to become a limited 

liability company.3

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the Order 

is certain frozen warmwater shrimp. 

The product is currently classified 

under the following Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheadings: 0306.17.00.04, 

0306.17.00.05, 0306.17.00.07, 

0306.17.00.08, 0306.17.00.10, 

0306.17.00.11, 0306.17.00.13, 

0306.17.00.14, 0306.17.00.16, 

0306.17.00.17, 0306.17.00.19, 

0306.17.00.20, 0306.17.00.22,

0306.17.00.29, 0306.17.00.41, 

0306.17.00.42, 1605.21.10.30, and 

1605.29.10.10. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written product description remains 

dispositive. For a complete description 

of the scope of the Order, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum.4

Initiation and Preliminary Results of 

CCR 

Pursuant to section 751(b)(1)(A) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.216(d), Commerce 

will conduct a CCR upon receipt of 

information concerning, or a request 

from, an interested party for a review of 

an AD order which shows changed 

circumstances sufficient to warrant a 

review of the order. The information 

submitted by HA Food supporting its 

claim that it is the successor-in-interest 

to Highland Agro demonstrates changed 

circumstances sufficient to warrant such 

a review.5 Therefore, in accordance with 

section 751(b)(1)(A) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.216(d), we are initiating a CCR 

based upon the information contained 

in HA Food’s submission. 

Section 351.221(c)(3)(ii) of 

Commerce’s regulations permits 

Commerce to combine the notice of 

initiation of a CCR and the notice of 

preliminary results if Commerce 

concludes that expedited action is 

warranted.6 In this instance, because the 

record contains information necessary 

to make a preliminary finding, we find 

that expedited action is warranted and 

have combined the notice of initiation 

and the notice of preliminary results.7

In this CCR, pursuant to section 

751(b) of the Act, Commerce conducted 

a successor-in-interest analysis. In 

making a successor-in-interest 

determination, Commerce examines 

several factors, including, but not 

limited to, changes in the following: (1) 

management; (2) production facilities; 

(3) supplier relationships; and (4)

Determinations of Sales at Less Than Fair Value 

and Antidumping Duty Orders: Certain Cut-ToLength Carbon-Quality Steel Plate Products from 

France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan and the 

Continued 

customer base.8 While no single factor 

or combination of factors will 

necessarily provide a dispositive 

indication of a successor-in-interest 

relationship, generally, Commerce will 

consider the new company to be the 

successor to the previous company if 

the new company’s resulting operation 

is not materially dissimilar to that of its 

predecessor.9 Thus, if the record 

evidence demonstrates that, with 

respect to the production and sale of the 

subject merchandise, the new company 

operates as the same business entity as 

the predecessor company, Commerce 

may assign the new company the cash 

deposit rate of its predecessor.10

In accordance with 19 CFR 351.216, 

we preliminarily determine that HA 

Food is the successor-in-interest to 

Highland Agro. Record evidence, as 

submitted by HA Food, indicates that 

HA Food operates as essentially the 

same business entity as Highland Agro 

with respect to the subject 

merchandise.11

For the complete successor-in-interest 

analysis, including discussion of 

business proprietary information, see 

the accompanying Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. A list of the topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is included as the 

appendix to this notice. The Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum is a public
