China Honey: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department issued the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on honey from China (A-570-863) (here). The agency preliminarily found Kunshan Xinlong Food Co., Ltd. did not prove independence from state control, and tentatively assigned it to the China-wide entity with an AD rate of $2.63 / kg. If Commerce adopts this finding in its final results, it will set Kunshan Xinglong's cash deposit rate at $2.63 / kg (effective on the publication date of the final results), and also liquidate any subject merchandise from Kunshan Xinlong entered December 2012 through November 2013 at that rate.

These AD duty rates are only preliminary, and do not change current AD duty rates. For now, the most recent final AD rate calculated for each Chinese company is still applicable. If no final AD duty rate has ever been calculated for a company, then it is subject to the China-wide rate of $2.63 / kg. The final results of this administrative review are currently due in May.
(The period of review is 12/01/12 -- 11/30/13. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
