After favourable WTO verdict, US told to return shrimp money by Amiti Sen |
India has asked the US to return shrimp exporters’ money locked up in Customs bonds. The US had imposed anti-dumping duty of 10.17% on Indian shrimps in 2005 and also asked local importers to provide enhanced Customs bonds worth the duty for past 12-month imports. When the US shrimp importers refused to furnish these bonds, India’s exporters had to shoulder the cost to keep shipments going. Following a successful complaint by India at the World Trade Organistion, the US stopped asking for them, but did not release funds locked up over 2005 to 2008. “As much as $30 million of our shrimp exporters’ money has been blocked because of non-release of old bonds which is grossly unfair,” a commerce department official told ET. The Customs bonds are, essentially, a cash guarantee to ensure that the importer will pay all Customs duties and levies charged by the authority. In its complaint at the WTO in 2008, India had argued that the requirement of enhanced Customs bonds was not consistent with the rules. The following year, the WTO ruled in favour of India and directed the US customs and border protection (CBP) to do away with enhanced bond requirement. Anti-dumping duty, too, came down to below 1% before going up marginally to a little over 2% earlier this year. "A large amount of our capital is locked in those bonds and it affects all our exporters, especially the smaller ones," pointed out MK Ram Mohan, deputy director, marketing, marine products export development authority (MPEDA).Not only is this money locked up in bonds, but exporters have to also pay a fee of 3% per annum. India’s demand for release of these funds has been strengthened by a decision of the US court for international trade in favour of Indian shrimp importers who were fighting against furnishing of bonds. The issue was also discussed at length between trade officials of both countries during President Barak Obama's India visit. "We discussed the issue at length during the US President's visit, and we have received assurance that the government would look into the issue," the official said.India's shrimp exports to the US fell by a third to Rs 611 crore from Rs 900 crore before the dumping duties and bond requirements were imposed in 2004, according to industry estimates. India does not want to rake up the issue with the WTO without trying to sort it out bilaterally. The US court for international trade's recent judgement against furnishing of enhanced Customs bonds has given added confidence to India. "We are hopeful that US Customs will settle issue to our satisfaction," the official said.EU, Japan and South East Asia are other major buyers of seafood from India. |
