## THE MINISTER OF  COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY (SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL)

- (a)          The  details  of  state  and  quantity  wise  export  of  marine  products  and  the  revenue earned through exports during the last five years are annexed at Annexure-I.
- (b) No sir. US has not recently imposed anti dumping duty on Indian shrimp exports. However, US had imposed anti dumping duty on import of frozen warm water shrimps from certain countries including India in 2004, based on the representations of Southern Shrimp Producers Alliance, an association of local shrimp producers in USA.
- (c) The  Initial  anti  dumping  duty  imposed  by  US  was  10.17%  which  was  reviewed subsequently. Every year there is an administrative review on the duty to be collected, and so  far  12  administrative  reviews  have  been  conducted.  The  final  result  of  the  12 th administrative review for the period of import from 01.02.2016 to 31.01.2017 has pegged the anti dumping duty at 1.35 %, which is currently applied to the exporters from India including those from Andhra Pradesh. On 23 rd April 2019, the Department of Commerce published the preliminary results of the 13 th administrative review of the anti dumping duty order on certain frozen warm water shrimp from India. Based on these preliminary results for anti dumping duty rate for Indian companies were at 1.87% and the final result of this review is awaited.

Even  with  the    imposition  of  anti-  dumping  duty  the  shrimp  exports  to  US  have  shown  a growing trend over the years.
