SHRIMP TRADE ACTION
For several months, shrimpers, packers and dealers have been working on trade action which is a new anti dumping investigation of frozen warm water shrimp from Ecuador, India, Indonesia and Vietnam. Those working on this are from the states of North Carolina thru Texas. This next stage requires those involved in the fishery to fill out questionnaires which needs to be submitted to the International Trade Commission before July 26, 2024.
This ITC investigation is being carried out to determine if unfair trade practices by other countries importing shrimp to the U.S have caused harm to our domestic shrimpers and if higher tariffs are necessary. In order to show harm, the domestic industry MUST FILL OUT THE QUESTIONNAIRE ACCURATELY AND SUBMIT IT TO THE ITC BY JULY 26th!!!!
We all know what’s happening, especially as it deals with IMPORTS. Let’s do something about it from a legal perspective!
You should be able to get your data from the dealer you packed with. If you need to get it from the Division, you need to go in person or provide a notarized request since it's confidential information. They are not fully staffed so no telling how long it would take to get that info.
IMPORTANT HELP UPDATE FOR THE QUESTIONNAIRE DOCUMENT REQUEST FROM THE ITC AS STATED IN THE ARTICLE BELOW.

2. E-mail the MS Word questionnaire to calvin.chang@usitc.gov; include a scanned copy of the signed certification page (page 1). Submitters are strongly encouraged to encrypt nonpublic documents that are electronically transmitted to the Commission to protect your sensitive information from unauthorized disclosure.
The USITC secure drop-box system and the Electronic Document Information System (EDIS) use Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 cryptographic algorithms to encrypt data in transit. Submitting your nonpublic documents by a means that does not use these encryption algorithms (such as by email) may subject your firm's nonpublic information to unauthorized disclosure during transmission.
If you choose a non-encrypted method of electronic transmission, the Commission warns you that the risk of such possible unauthorized disclosure is assumed by you and not by the Commission.
You can also visit the USITC website for these investigations at https://ids.usitc.gov/case/8152/investigation/8505 where you can also download the questionnaires.
