Commerce is rescinding the review for 12 companies and the Vietnam-wide entity (see Appendix II of the notice for the complete list). The agency said it will instruct CBP to assess AD on all appropriate entries from these companies at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated AD required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the review period.
New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect March 14
For entries on or after March 14, when these final results are scheduled for publication in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates. For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except those listed below), cash deposit rates will remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the Vietnam-wide rate of $2.39 per kilogram applies. The new rates are as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Vinh Hoan Corporation | zero |
| Can Tho Import Export Seafood Joint Stock Company | $0.18/kg |
| Loc Kim Chi Seafood Joint Stock Company | $0.18/kg |
| International Development and Investment Corporation | $0.18/kg |
| Hung Vuong Corporation | $0.18/kg |
| Cafatex Corporation | $0.18/kg |
Vietnam-wide. Commerce found another 110 companies did not demonstrate independence from state control, and assigned them to the Vietnam-wide entity. (See Appendix III of the notice for the complete list.)
Assessment Rates for Entries August 2019 - July 2020
Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to set assessments of AD on importers of subject merchandise for entries between Aug. 1, 2021, and July 31, 2022. Commerce will not assess AD on entries from Vinh Hoan Corporation. Subject merchandise from CASEAMEX entered during the review period will be liquidated at importer-specific rates. The agency will liquidate entries from all other exporters at the rates listed above.
(The review period is 08/01/21 - 07/31/22. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2309110057 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
