CIT Blocks Liquidation of Some 2011-12 Vietnam Fish Fillet Entries

The Court of International Trade has put liquidation on hold for entries in 2011-12 of frozen fish fillets from Vietnam exported by eight companies, while it considers a challenge to the final results of an antidumping duty administrative review. CIT’s preliminary injunction prevents liquidation of any unliquidated entries of frozen shrimp entered between Aug. 1, 2011 and July 31, 2012 that were exported by the following companies: An Giang Fisheries Import and Export Joint Stock Company; Asia Commerce Fisheries Joint Stock Company; Cuu Long Fish; Hiep Thanh Seafood; International Development and Investment Corporation; NTSF Seafoods; QVD Food Company; and Southern Fishery Industries. The companies are challenging the AD duty rates they were assigned in April (see 14040412).
