The ITA initiated a review to determine whether five companies: Bac Lieu Fisheries Joint Stock Company (Bac Lieu JSC); Cadovimex Seafood Import-Export and Processing Joint Stock Company (Cadovimex Vietnam); Soc Trang Seafood Joint Stock Company (STAPIMEX JSC); Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading Corporation (Thuan Phuoc JSC); and UTXI Aquatic Products Processing Corporation (UTXI Corp.) are successors-in-interest, respectively, to: Bac Lieu Fisheries Company Limited (Bac Lieu Limited); Cai Doi Vam Seafood Import-Export Company (Cadovimex); Soc Trang Aquatic Products and General Import Export Company (STAPIMEX); Thuan Phuoc Seafoods and Trading Corporation (Thuan Phuoc SOE); and UTXI Aquatic Products Processing Company (UTXI) for purposes of determining AD duty liability.
The ITA also initiated a review to determine whether Can Tho Import Export Fishery Limited Company (CAFISH) is the successor-in-interest to Can Tho Agricultural and Animal Products Import Export Company (CATACO).
Preliminary Results - 5 Companies are Successors-in-Interest, Not CAFISH
The ITA has preliminarily determined that Bac Lieu JSC; Cadovimex Vietnam; STAPIMEX JSC; Thuan Phuoc JSC; and UTXI Corp. are the successors-in-interest to the five original respective companies for purposes of determining AD duty liability.
However, the ITA has preliminarily determined that CAFISH is not the successor-in-interest to CATACO for purposes of determining AD duty liability. Thus, the ITA preliminarily finds that CAFISH should not receive CATACO's current separate rate and that the AD duty cash deposit rate for the subject merchandise exported and manufactured by CAFISH should continue to be the current Vietnam-wide entity rate.
The ITA will issue its final results of these reviews within 270 days after March 11 and March 27, 2009, respectively, or within 45 days if all parties to the proceeding agree to the outcome of the reviews.
