Vietnam Frozen Fish Fillets: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department published the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on frozen fish fillets from Vietnam (A-552-801). The agency continued to find, as in its preliminary results, that Hoa Phat Seafood Import-Export and Processing didn't establish its independence from Vietnamese government control, and assigned it to the Vietnam-wide entity with an AD rate of $2.39/kg. Importers of subject merchandise from Hoa Phat entered Aug. 1, 2020, through July 31, 2021, will be assessed AD duties at that $2.39/kg rate. The new $2.39/kg AD duty cash deposit rate takes effect for Hoa Phat Sept. 13.

Additionally, Commerce made no changes to its preliminary finding that 15 other companies had no shipments during the period under review. As a result, the current AD duty cash deposit rates in effect for these 15 companies will not change as a result of this review. Any subject merchandise entered under the AD duty case numbers for these 15 companies during the period August 2020 through July 2021 will be liquidated at the $2.39/kg China-wide rate. See Appendix II of Commerce's notice for a list of these "no shipments" companies.
For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except those listed above), 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 applies.
(The review period is 08/01/20 - 07/31/21. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2205120038 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
