Nekkanti shrimp complaint seeks sales limits on existing U.S. stock
Counsel for the named shrimp importer and retailers should include existing U.S. stock in their remedy response. Whether a sale could proceed under a later cease and desist order would depend on its terms, regardless of prior Customs release.
Versaggi Shrimp Corporation and W&W Dock LLP seek cease and desist orders as well as import exclusion in the Nekkanti shrimp case. The USITC's November 3 receipt notice imposes no sales restriction.
The requested domestic relief would reach covered respondents' sales and transfers of covered shrimp already in U.S. inventory. Counsel should connect producer identity, lot ownership and pending deliveries, then compare those records with any later order's scope and exceptions. Changing future suppliers would leave existing stock to assess.
