U.S. Antidumping Update: Southern Shrimp Alliance Agreements Reflect Chess Game Between Domestic. Foreign Producers

摘要

When officials from the United States Department of Commerce were writing their final antidumping orders in 2005, a prominent U.S. trade lawyer observed that shrimp companies were at "the end of the beginning." The truth behind his comment is beginning to become clear, as exporters and importers struggle through the first administrative review of the orders. Administrative reviews examine the pricing behaviors of selected exporters to calculate the actual duties that must be paid for their past shipments. These reviews can be very intrusive and expensive, particularly for large companies.
