China Crawfish Tail Meat: Bond Option Ends for Hubei Nature as Commerce Rescinds New Shipper Review

The bond option for merchandise produced and exported by Hubei Nature Agricultural Industry Co., Ltd. will end, as the Commerce Department rescinded its new shipper review of freshwater crawfish tail meat from China (A-570-848) for the company. According to Commerce, Hubei Nature had a sale to a U.S. company during the period of review, but the entry associated with that sale fell far outside of the review period. While Commerce can extend the review period, the entry was so far beyond the end of the review period that the agency determined such a long extension would imperil its ability to finish the review on time. Commerce said the deadline still hasn’t passed for requesting a new shipper review related to the sale, so Hubei Nature can request another one with a different period of review.
