Commerce has ordered liquidation “as entered” at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry for companies for which a review was not requested, in a message to CBP (ADCVDWeb Message # 3334403).
In these preliminary results, Commerce also said it intends to end the review for 12 companies that had a separate rate status but no reviewable suspended entries during the review period. They are listed in Appendix II A. of the notice. If the recission of the review is upheld in the final results, Commerce 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.
Cash Deposit Requirements
Once Commerce issues its final results, new AD 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 cash deposit rates:
| Exporter | AD Rate (Prelim) |
|---|---|
| Bien Dong Seafood Co., Ltd./Bien Dong Hau Giang Seafood Joint Stock Company/Seavina Joint Stock Company | zero |
| Vinh Hoan Corporation/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 | 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 |
Vietnam-wide. Commerce found another 126 companies did not demonstrate independence from state control, and preliminarily assigned them to the Vietnam-wide entity, with an assessment rate of $2.39/kg.
Assessment Rates
As part of this administrative review, Commerce will also calculate the AD it will assess on importers for entries of subject merchandise entered between Aug. 1, 2022, and July 31, 2023. If these preliminary results are confirmed in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from Bien Dong and Vinh Hoan entered during the period of review wouldn't be assessed AD. Subject merchandise from the other companies subject to this review would be assessed AD at the rates listed above.
(The period of review is 08/01/22 - 07/31/23. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
