October 20, 2013 — A consortium of domestic shrimp producers on Tuesday sued the U.S. Department of Commerce in the U.S. Court of International Trade for its decision to revoke an anti-dumping duty order on shrimp imports from a Chinese company, alleging that Commerce made the determination based on faulty data.
The complaint from the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade Action Committee alleged that Commerce had failed to acknowledge a discrepancy between the amount of shrimp shipped to the U.S. reported by Chinese exporter Zhanjiang Regal Integrated Marine Resources Co. Ltd. and the data on record with U.S. importing authorities.
