Commerce is rescinding, in its entirety, the antidumping duty administrative review of certain frozen warmwater shrimp from China for the February 1, 2025 through January 31, 2026 period of review. The notice was placed on public inspection October 28, 2026 at 8:45 a.m. and is scheduled for publication October 29, 2026 (FR Doc. 2026-22032; A-570-893). Dated October 26, 2026, Scot Fullerton.

Why Commerce rescinded
- Order: AD order published February 1, 2005 (70 FR 5149).
- Initiation: March 31, 2026 (91 FR 15951). The appendix lists 198 companies covered by the review (by our count of the numbered appendix entries).
- CBP data: April 10, 2026 CBP data release and intent-to-rescind memorandum showed no reviewable, suspended POR entries by any company under review. No comments received.
- Authority: rescission in full under 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
Initiated 91 FR 15951 (Mar 31, 2026) · 198 companies in appendix (by our count) · no suspended POR entries
Assessment: cash deposit rates at entry (19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i))
Assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication (by our count, Dec 3, 2026)
Assessment and partial revocations still on the books
Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties at rates equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption (19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i)). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication (by our count from October 29, 2026, December 3, 2026). There is no company-specific review rate from this segment.
Footnotes in the notice remind that the order was revoked for certain Allied Pacific entity merchandise (footnote 8) and for merchandise produced and exported by Zhanjiang Regal Integrated Marine Resources Co., Ltd. (footnote 11). Those partial revocations are separate from this full POR rescission; they do not change the assessment rule for companies that remain under the order.
Same rescission mechanics appear in AD/CVD reviews rescinded: 22 segments (multi-segment withdrawals under a different notice). A different country's shrimp order is covered in Thailand frozen shrimp AD: final 2024-2025 admin review results.
Antidumping duties are not drawback-eligible (19 U.S.C. 1677h). Ordinary customs duties on the same entries may still qualify when merchandise is exported or destroyed (or used to manufacture exported goods) and the claim otherwise qualifies. See AD/CVD drawback exclusion and how to file a duty drawback claim.
Action items
- Expect liquidation at deposit rates for China shrimp POR entries covered by this review; do not budget for a review-driven refund or bill.
- Watch the assessment-instruction floor: no earlier than December 3, 2026 by our count from the October 29 publication date.
- Keep Thailand shrimp separate: the Thailand frozen shrimp 2024-2025 finals are a different order and a different cash-deposit story.
- Track APO return/destruction under 19 CFR 351.305 if you received proprietary information in this segment.
