Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD duty cash deposit requirements may take effect for some companies, beginning on the date of publication of the final results in the Federal Register. Commerce preliminarily calculated the following AD duty cash deposit rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| An Giang Fisheries Import and Export Joint Stock Company, Asia Pangasius Company Limited, Europe Joint Stock Company, Hung Vuong Joint Stock Company, Hung Vuong Mascato Company Limited, Hung Vuong – Vinh Long Co., Ltd., and Hung Vuong – Sa Dec Co., Ltd. | $0.36/kg |
| Thuan An Production Trading and Services Co., Ltd. | $0.84/kg |
| Average rate for 16 companies | $0.60/kg |
(See Commerce's notice for the full list of 16 companies that were preliminarily assigned an AD rate of $0.60/kg but were not under individual review.)
No shipments. Commerce found 16 Chinese did not have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review. Cash deposit rates for these companies will not change, and any entries reported to be from these exporters will be assessed duties at the Vietnam-wide rate.
Vietnam wide. Commerce found Asia Pangasius Company Limited, Nam Phuong Seafood Co., Ltd., NTACO Corporation, Thien Ma Seafood Co., Ltd., Thuan Hung Co., Ltd, did not cooperate with the review, and assigned them the Vietnam-wide rate.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the AD duties it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between Aug. 1, 2013 and July 31, 2014. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise exported by the Hung Vuong group and Thuan An will be assessed AD duties at importer-specific rates. Importers of subject merchandise exported by the 16 average rate companies and the more than five Vietnam-wide companies will be assessed AD duties at the rates set in the final results.
Commerce is also rescinding this review for Vinh Hoan, Bien Dong, Hung Vuong Seafood, Thanh Hung, and Vinh Long because their requests for review were withdrawn. Subject merchandise from these companies entered during the period of review will be liquidated "as entered" at the cash deposit rate in effect at time of entry.
(The period of review is 08/01/13 -- 07/31/14. See notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
