Thailand Frozen Shrimp: Commerce Finds No Subsidization, Will Refund CV Cash Deposits

The Commerce Department found no countervailable subsidies for exporters of frozen warmwater shrimp from Thailand (C-549-828) in its final determination, and so will refund CV cash deposits and that were collected following the agency's June 4 preliminary determination. The preliminary determination had found CV rates of zero to 2.09 percent for exporters of subject merchandise. As a result of this negative final determination, Commerce is terminating this CV duty investigation.
