These final results will be used to set final assessments of AD duties on importers for subject merchandise entered August 2022 through July 2023.

Vinh Hoan Corporation and its affiliates (Van Duc Food Export Joint Stock Company, Van Duc Tien Giang Food Export Company, Thanh Binh Dong Thap One Member Company Limited, Vinh Phuoc Food Company Limited) had been selected as the second mandatory respondent at the start of this review and were included in the preliminary results. However, in January the review for Vinh Hoan was rescinded and the AD order was revoked for it (see 2502140058).
Commerce is rescinding the review for 126 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 June 18
For entries on or after June 18, when these final results are scheduled for publication in the Federal Register, Commerce is setting new AD 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 |
|---|---|
| Bien Dong Seafood Co., Ltd./Bien Dong Hau Giang Seafood Joint Stock Company/Seavina Joint Stock Company | zero |
| Can Tho Import-Export Seafood Joint Stock Company | zero |
| Dai Thanh Seafoods Company Limited | zero |
| Dong A Seafood One Member Co., Ltd. | zero |
| HungCa 6 Corporation | zero |
| Nam Viet Corporation | zero |
| NTSF Seafoods Joint Stock Company | zero |
Assessment Rates for Entries August 2022 - July 2023
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, 2022, and July 31, 2023. Commerce will not assess AD on entries from Bien Dong. The agency also will liquidate entries from six other exporters subject to the review without assessing AD, because the rate assigned to Bien Dong was applied to them as the unexamined companies that qualified for a separate rate, as shown above.
(The review period is 08/01/22 - 07/31/23. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2409180016 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
