SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:. 

Background 

On February 1, 2005, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register an 

antidumping duty order on shrimp from 

India.1 On June 13, 2018, CAPL 

requested that, pursuant to section 

751(b)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 

351.216(b), Commerce conduct an 

expedited changed circumstances 

review of the Order to confirm that 

CAPL is the successor-in-interest to 

Coastal Aqua and, accordingly, to assign 

it the cash deposit rate of Coastal Aqua.2

In its submission, CAPL explained that 

Coastal Aqua undertook a business 

reorganization and transferred its 

shrimp business to CAPL.3 The 

domestic industry did not file any 

comments on this request. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the order 

is certain frozen warmwater shrimp.4

The product is currently classified 

under the following Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

item numbers: 0306.17.00.03, 

0306.17.00.06, 0306.17.00.09, 

0306.17.00.12, 0306.17.00.15, 

0306.17.00.18, 0306.17.00.21, 

0306.17.00.24, 0306.17.00.27, 

0306.17.00.40, 1605.21.10.30, and 

1605.29.10.10. Although the HTSUS 

numbers are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

product description remains dispositive. 

Initiation and Preliminary Results 

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

Act, Commerce will conduct a changed 

circumstances review upon receipt of 

information concerning, or a request 

from, an interested party for a review of 

an antidumping duty order which 

shows changed circumstances sufficient 

to warrant a review of the order. As 

indicated in the ‘‘Background’’ section, 

we received information indicating that 

Coastal Aqua transferred its shrimp 

business to CAPL. This constitutes 

changed circumstances warranting a 

review of the order.5 Therefore, in 

accordance with section 751(b)(1) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.216(d) and (e), we 

are initiating a changed circumstances 

review based upon the information 

contained in CAPL’s submission. 

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

Commerce’s regulations permits 

Commerce to combine the notice of 

initiation of a changed circumstances 

review 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 changed circumstances review, 

pursuant to section 751(b) of the Act, 

Commerce conducted a successor-ininterest analysis. In making a successorin-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) 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 CAPL 

is the successor-in-interest to Coastal 

Aqua. Record evidence, as submitted by 

CAPL, indicates that CAPL operates as 

essentially the same business entity as 

Coastal Aqua with respect to the subject 

merchandise.11 For the complete 

successor-in-interest analysis, including 

discussion of business proprietary

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 3, 2015, the domestic 

producers filed petitions seeking the 

imposition of antidumping and 

countervailing duties on imports of 

CORE from Korea and Taiwan.1 In 

response to these petitions, Commerce 

initiated AD and CVD investigations on 

June 23, 2015.2 Following Commerce’s 

final affirmative determinations of 

dumping and countervailable 

subsidies,3 and the U.S. International 

Trade Commission (ITC)’s finding of 

material injury,4 Commerce issued AD 

and CVD orders on imports of CORE 

from Korea and an AD order on imports 

of CORE from Taiwan (collectively, 

Orders).5

On June 12, 2018, pursuant to section 

781(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 

351.225(h), the domestic producers 

submitted a request for Commerce to 

initiate anti-circumvention inquiries to 

determine whether entities in Vietnam 

are circumventing the Orders by 

exporting, to the United States, CORE 

which is completed or assembled in 

Vietnam using HRS and/or CRS sourced 

from Korea and Taiwan.6 Further, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(f), the 

domestic producers request that 

Commerce initiate anti-circumvention 

inquiries and issue in conjunction with 

initiation of the inquiries a preliminary 

determination of circumvention of the 

Orders to suspend liquidation of 

imports of CORE from Vietnam.7

Scope of the Orders 

The products covered by these orders 

are certain flat-rolled steel products, 

either clad, plated, or coated with
