KOCHI: The mandatory respondents for the second administrative review in the antidumping case against Indian shrimp exports have been announced. Limiting the number of respondents to two, the US Department of Commerce (USDC) has selected Devi Seafoods, Andhra Pradesh and Falcon Marines, Orissa, as the mandatory respondents on the basis of their export volumes.

These two companies are two of the largest exporters of warm water shrimp accounting for 22% of exports to the US market. It was on April 6, 2007, that the USDC initiated second administrative review of the antidumping duty on certain frozen warm water shrimp from India.

Sources said that the Bush administration has limited the number of mandatory respondents to two as there were a large number of review requests. It was in this context that the USDC selected two companies on the basis of export volumes. In the first administrative review, three companies, namely, Hindustan Lever, Falcon Marines and Liberty Group were selected as the mandatory respondents.
