Commerce upheld its determination in the preliminary results that the review would be rescinded for 14 companies that had no suspended entries of subject merchandise. The companies are listed in Appendix II of the notice.
For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the companies listed below), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own AD rate but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all-others rate of 5.87% applies.
Commerce said it made certain changes to the preliminary results, and Allied Natual Products no longer has a zero percent AD rate. The rate for the other mandatory respondent, Indocan Honey, moved higher from the preliminary rate of 0.59%. As the rate for the non-individually examined companies is a simple average of the rates for Allied and Indocan, that rate also increased, from 0.59%.
New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect April 22
For entries on or after April 22, the date these final results are scheduled for publication in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting new AD cash deposit rates for subject merchandise produced or exported by the following companies:
| Producer/Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Allied Natural Product | 3.96% |
| Indocan Honey Private Limited / Queenbee Foods Private Limited and Pearlcot Enterprises | 0.66% |
| Non-individually examined companies (see Appendix III for the list of 12 companies) | 2.31% |
Assessment Rates for Entries Nov. 23, 2021 - May 2023
Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to calculate assessments of AD on importers of subject merchandise for entries between Nov. 23, 2021, and May 31, 2023. For entries from Allied Natural and Indocan, Commerce is calculating importer-specific AD rates. Commerce will assess AD on the other companies subject to this review at the rate listed above.
(The review period is 11/23/21 - 05/31/23. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2407100031 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
