media note released on December 21, 

2004. 

In order for shrimp harvested with 

Turtle Excluder Devices (TEDs) in an 

uncertified nation to be eligible for 

importation into the United States 

under the exemption: ‘‘Shrimp 

harvested by commercial shrimp trawl 

vessels using TEDs comparable in 

effectiveness to those required in the 

United States’’, the Department of State 

must determine in advance that the 

government of the harvesting nation has 

put in place adequate procedures to 

ensure the accurate completion of the 

DS–2031 forms. At this time, the 

Department has made such a 

determination only with respect to 

Australia, Brazil and France. Thus, the 

importation of TED-caught shrimp from 

any other uncertified nation will not be 

allowed. For Brazil, only shrimp 

harvested in the northern shrimp fishery 

are eligible for entry under this 

exemption. For Australia, shrimp 

harvested in the Exmouth Gulf Prawn 

Fishery, the Northern Prawn Fishery, 

the Queensland East Coast Trawl 

Fishery and the Torres Strait Prawn 

Fishery is eligible for entry under this 

exemption. For France, shrimp 

harvested in the French Guiana 

domestic trawl fishery are eligible for 

entry under this exemption. 

In addition, the Department has 

already made a determination with 

regard to wild-harvest shrimp harvested 

in the Spencer Gulf region in Australia. 

This product may be exported to the 

U.S. using a DS–2031 under the 

exemption for ‘‘shrimp harvested in a 

manner or under circumstances 

determined by the Department of State 

not to pose a threat of the incidental 

taking of sea turtles.’’ An official of the 

Government of Australia still also must 

certify the DS–2031.
