Certain Frozen Fish Fillets From the 

Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Final 

Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review and Final 

Determination of No Shipments; 2019– 

2020 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) determines that NTSF 

Seafoods Joint Stock Company (NTSF), 

an exporter of certain frozen fish fillets 

(fish fillets) from the Socialist Republic 

of Vietnam (Vietnam), did not sell 

subject merchandise in the United 

States at prices below normal value 

during the period of review (POR) 

August 1, 2019, through July 31, 2020. 

Commerce also determines that it is 

appropriate to apply facts available, 

with adverse inferences (AFA), to East 

Sea Seafoods Joint Stock Company 

(ESS), an exporter of fish fillets from 

Vietnam. Further, Commerce 

determines that one additional 

company, Green Farms Seafood Joint 

Stock Company (Green Farms), is 

eligible for separate rate status, 32 

companies did not establish eligibility 

for a separate rate and are part of the 

Vietnam-wide entity, and 15 companies 

had no shipments during the POR. 

DATES: Applicable March 21, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 10, 2021, Commerce 

published the preliminary results of this 

administrative review and invited 

interested parties to comment.1 On 

November 16, 2021, Green Farms, the 

petitioners,2 and Colorado Boxed Beef 

Company (CBBC) 3 submitted case 

briefs.4 On November 29, 2021, the 

petitioners, CBBC, Nam Viet 

Corporation (NAVICO) 5 and NTSF 

submitted rebuttal briefs.6

On December 22, 2021, we extended 

the deadline for issuance of these final 

results to March 9, 2022.7 In February 

2022, we requested that the petitioners 

refile a submission made prior to the 

Preliminary Results after revising their 

bracketing of certain information 

designated as business proprietary 

information, and we permitted 

interested parties to comment on the 

newly public information.8 On February 

15, 2022, we held a public hearing.9

Scope of the Order 10

The products covered by the Order 

are frozen fish fillets, including regular, 

shank, and strip fillets and portions 

thereof, whether or not breaded or 

marinated, of the species Pangasius 

Bocourti, Pangasius Hypophthalmus 

(also known as Pangasius Pangasius) 

and Pangasius Micronemus. For a 

complete description of the scope of this 

order, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.11

Analysis of Comments Received 

We addressed all issues raised in the 

case and rebuttal briefs filed by 

interested parties in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. Attached to this 

notice, in Appendix I, is a list of the 

issues which parties raised. The Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Final Determination of No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results, Commerce 

preliminarily determined that 15 

companies had no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR.12

Following the publication of the 

Preliminary Results, we received no 

comments from interested parties 

regarding 14 of these companies, nor

Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 

FR 65694 (October 24, 2011). 

has any party submitted record evidence 

which would call our preliminary no 

shipment determination into question 

for these companies. Therefore, for these 

final results, we find that these 14 

companies had no shipments during the 

POR. For a list of the companies for 

which we made a no-shipment 

determination in these final results, see 

Appendix II. 

With respect to the remaining 

company, NAVICO, we received 

comments from interested parties 

requesting that Commerce reevaluate 

our no-shipment determination. 

However, for the reasons explained in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

Commerce also continues to find that 

NAVICO had no shipments during the 

POR.13

Consistent with our practice, we will 

issue appropriate instructions to 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP).14

Separate Rates 

We continue to find that the nonindividually-examined exporter Green 

Farms and individually-examined 

respondents ESS and NTSF have 

demonstrated eligibility for separate 

rates.15 As noted below, we have 

assigned Green Farms the average of the 

rates established for ESS and NTSF, 

consistent with our practice in 

administrative reviews and section 

735(c)(5)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (the Act).16

Vietnam-Wide Entity 

In the Preliminary Results, Commerce 

found that certain additional companies 

for which a review was requested did 

not establish eligibility for a separate 

rate.17 We have received no information 

since the issuance of the Preliminary 

Results that provides a basis for 

reconsidering this preliminary finding. 

Therefore, Commerce continues to find 

that these companies are part of the 

Vietnam-wide entity.18

Use of Adverse Facts Available 

Pursuant to sections 776(a) and (b) of 

the Act, Commerce has assigned ESS a 

dumping margin of $3.87 per kilogram 

based on AFA. ESS ceased participating 

in this review and did not provide 

information requested by Commerce; 

accordingly, we find that necessary 

information is not available on the 

record, ESS failed to provide the 

requested information in the form and 

manner requested and significantly 

impeded the proceeding, pursuant to 

section 776(a) of the Act. Additionally, 

we find that ESS had necessary 

information in its possession and 

elected not to submit the information 

and, thus, ESS did not act to the best of 

its ability in responding to Commerce’s 

information request by the applicable 

deadline, pursuant to section 776(b) of 

the Act. For further information, see 

Comment 6 in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

We made no changes from the 

Preliminary Results. 

Final Results of Administrative Review 

The weighted-average dumping 

margins for the final results of this 

administrative review are as follows: 

Exporter 

Weighted- average 

dumping margin 

(dollars per kilogram) 

NTSF Seafoods Joint Stock Company ................................................................................................................................ 0.00 

East Sea Seafoods Joint Stock Company .......................................................................................................................... * 3.87 

Review-Specific Rate Applicable to the Following Company: 19

Green Farms Seafood Joint Stock Company .............................................................................................................. 1.94 

* This rate was determined wholly under section 776 of the Act. 

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce 

has determined, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise in 

accordance with the final results of this 

review. Commerce intends to issue 

appropriate assessment instructions to 

CBP no earlier than 35 days after the 

date of publication of the final results of 

this review in the Federal Register. If a 

timely summons is filed at the U.S. 

Court of International Trade, the 

assessment instructions will direct CBP 

not to liquidate relevant entries until the 

time for parties to file a request for a 

statutory injunction has expired (i.e., 

within 90 days of publication). 

For NTSF, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

Pursuant to Commerce’s assessment 

practice, for entries of NTSF’s 

merchandise that were not reported in 

the U.S. sales data submitted by NTSF 

during this review, Commerce will 

instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at 

the Vietnam-wide entity rate. 

Because Commerce determined ESS’s 

margin on the basis of AFA in the final 

results of this review, Commerce will 

instruct, and CBP shall assess, 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries of subject merchandise at the 

rate of $3.87 per kilogram. Because we 

assigned a rate of $1.94 per kilogram to 

Green Farms in the final results of this 

review, we will instruct, and CBP shall 

assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise at the rate of $1.94 per 

kilogram. 

Where we determined that an 

exporter under review had no 

shipments of the subject merchandise to 

the United States during the POR, any 

suspended entries that entered during 

the POR under that exporter’s CBP case 

number will be liquidated at a rate of 

$2.39 per kilogram, the rate for the 

Vietnam-wide entity, consistent with 

Commerce’s assessment practice.20

Likewise, for companies that were 

found to be ineligible for a separate rate, 

we will instruct CBP to liquidate entries 

of subject merchandise exported by 

such companies at a rate of $2.39 per 

kilogram, the rate for the Vietnam-wide 

entity. 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review for all shipments 

of subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the publication

date, as provided for by section 

751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the 

companies listed above, the cash 

deposit rate will be equal to the 

dumping margin established in the final 

results of this review (except, if the rate 

is zero or de minimis, then the cash 

deposit rate will be zero); (2) for 

previously examined Vietnamese and 

non-Vietnamese exporters not listed 

above that maintain separate rates based 

on a prior completed segment of this 

proceeding, the cash deposit rate will 

continue to be the existing exporterspecific cash deposit rate; (3) for all 

Vietnamese exporters of subject 

merchandise that have not been found 

to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash 

deposit rate will be that for the Vietnamwide entity (i.e., $2.39 per kilogram); 

and (4) for all non-Vietnamese exporters 

of subject merchandise which have not 

received their own rate, the cash deposit 

rate will be the rate applicable to the 

Vietnamese exporter that supplied that 

non-Vietnamese exporter. These deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 

to file a certificate regarding the 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

prior to liquidation of the relevant 

entries during this POR. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of doubled antidumping duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of APO materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order, is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results of administrative review in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(l) and 

777(i) of the Act.

Results of Antidumping and

Circumstances Reviews 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: On February 14, 2022, the 

Department of Commerce (Commerce) 

published the initiation and preliminary 

results of the changed circumstances 

reviews of the antidumping and 

countervailing duty orders on oil 

country tubular goods (OCTG) from the 

People’s Republic of China (China). For 

these final results, Commerce continues 

to find that HLDS (B) Steel Sdn Bhd 

(HLDS (B)) and HLD Clark Steel Pipe 

Co., Inc. (HLD Clark) (collectively, HLD 

companies) are eligible to participate in 

a certification process because the HLD 

companies have demonstrated that they 

can identify OCTG that they produced 

in either Brunei or the Philippines using 

non-Chinese hot-rolled steel.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 26, 2021, Commerce 

found that imports of welded OCTG 

completed in Brunei or the Philippines 

using inputs manufactured in China are 

circumventing the antidumping and 

countervailing duty orders on OCTG 

from China.1 In the Final 

Determinations, Commerce found that 

welded OCTG ‘‘assembled or completed 

in Brunei or the Philippines using nonChinese inputs is not subject to these 

circumvention inquiries,’’ but because 

the HLD companies were ‘‘unable to 

track welded OCTG to the country of 

origin of inputs used in the production 

of welded OCTG,’’ Commerce decided 

not to ‘‘implement a certification 

process for welded OCTG already 

suspended,’’ and required ‘‘cash 

deposits on all entries of welded OCTG 

produced in either Brunei or the 

Philippines.’’ 2 However, Commerce 

indicated that ‘‘producers and/or 

exporters in Brunei or the Philippines 

may request reconsideration of our 

denial of the certification process in a 

future segment of the proceeding, i.e., a 

changed circumstances review or 

administrative review.’’ 3

On December 23, 2021, the HLD 

companies submitted changed 

circumstances review requests, in which 

they claimed that they are able to 

identify and segregate welded OCTG 

made using non-Chinese hot-rolled steel 

by either HLDS (B) in Brunei or HLD 

Clark in the Philippines and then 

subsequently exported from either 

Brunei or the Philippines to the United 

States.4 The HLD companies request 

that Commerce find them eligible for 

certification of these welded OCTG as 

non-subject merchandise. In response to 

Commerce’s requests for additional 

information, the HLD companies 

submitted their supplemental responses 

on January 18, 2022,5 and January 24, 

2022.6

Commerce preliminarily determined 

‘‘that the HLD companies are now able 

to identify and effectively segregate 

welded OCTG produced by either HLDS 

(B) in Brunei or HLD Clark in the 

Philippines using non-Chinese hotrolled steel from other OCTG produced 

at their facilities.’’ 7

No party commented on the Initiation 

and Preliminary Results regarding 

Commerce’s analysis of the HLD 

companies’ practices to track the 

country of origin of the hot-rolled steel 

they used to produce OCTG which are 

exported to the United States, the 

sufficiency of the certification process, 

or the certification language.
