Results of Antidumping Duty 

Administrative Review and Final 

Determination of No Shipments; 2018– 

2019 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance,

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) determines that Vinh Hoan 

Corporation (Vinh Hoan), 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, 2018, 

through July 31, 2019. Further, 

Commerce determines that 20 

companies had no shipments during the 

POR. 

DATES: Applicable July 8, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 28, 2020, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results and 

invited interested parties to comment.1

On February 3 and 12, 2021, the 

petitioners,2 Vinh Hoan, the Hung 

Vuong Group (HVG), Colorado Boxed 

Beef Company (CBBC), QMC Foods, Inc. 

(QMC), Nam Viet Corporation 

(NAVICO), and Can Tho Import Export 

Joint Stock Company (CASEAMEX) 

submitted case and/or rebuttal briefs.3

Following briefing, in response to 

comments filed by interested parties, on 

May 19, 2021, Commerce placed 

additional information obtained from 

U.S Customs and Border Protection 

(CBP) on the record and solicited 

comments.4 The petitioners and HVG 

filed comments regarding the 

information.5

On April 7, 2021, we extended the 

deadline for issuance of these final 

results to June 25, 2021.6 On June 8, 

2021 we conducted a public hearing in 

this matter.7

Scope of the Order 8

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.9

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 http://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/ 

index.html. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on a review of the record and 

comments received from interested 

parties, and for the reasons explained in 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

we made certain changes to Vinh Hoan’s 

weighted-average dumping margin and 

revised the list of companies within the 

Vinh Hoan collapsed entity. For these 

final results, Commerce also updated 

the weighted-average dumping margin 

assigned to the non-individuallyexamined company receiving a separate 

rate, i.e., NAVICO. For a discussion of 

the above-referenced changes, see the 

‘‘Changes Since the Preliminary 

Results’’ section of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. 

Final Determination of No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results, Commerce 

preliminarily determined that 21 

companies had no shipments of subject 

merchandise during the POR.10

Following the publication of the 

Preliminary Results, we received no 

comments from interested parties

Commerce determined that it would calculate perunit assessment and cash deposit rates for all future 

reviews. See Certain Frozen Fish Fillets from the

Antidumping Duty Administrative Review and 

Partial Rescission, 73 FR 15479, 15481 (March 24,

22See Non-Market Economy Antidumping 

Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 76 

FR 65694 (October 24, 2011). 

regarding 19 of these companies, nor 

has any party submitted record evidence 

which would call our preliminary no 

shipment determination into question 

for them. Therefore, for these final 

results, we find that these 19 companies 

had no shipments during the POR. 

With respect to the remaining two 

companies, HVG 11 and Thanh Binh 

Dong Thap One Member Company 

Limited (Thanh Binh),12 we received 

comments from interested parties 

requesting that Commerce reevaluate 

our no shipment determination. With 

regard to HVG, Commerce continues to 

find that HVG had no shipments during 

the POR.13 With regard to Thanh Binh, 

Commerce now finds that this company 

is part of the Vinh Hoan single entity.14

For a list of the 20 companies for 

which we find ‘‘no shipments’’ for these 

final results, see Appendix II. Consistent 

with our practice, we will issue 

appropriate instructions to CBP 

consistent with the reseller policy. 15

Separate Rates 

We continue to find that the nonindividually-examined exporter 

NAVICO and individually-examined 

respondent Vinh Hoan have 

demonstrated eligibility for separate 

rates. As noted below, we have assigned 

NAVICO the rate established for Vinh 

Hoan, in accordance with section 

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

amended (the Act). 

Vietnam-Wide Entity 

In the Preliminary Results, we denied 

Seafood Joint Stock Company No.4 

Branch Dongtam Fisheries Processing 

Company (DOTASEAFOOD) a separate 

rate.16 For the reasons explained in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum, we 

continue to find that DOTASEAFOOD is 

not eligible for a separate rate.17 Thus, 

we find DOTASEAFOOD to be part of 

the 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.18 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.19

Final Results of Administrative Review 

The weighted-average dumping 

margins for the final results of this 

administrative review are as follows: 

Exporter 

Weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(dollars/ 

kilogram) 20

Vinh Hoan Corporation * ....... 0.00 

Nam Viet Corporation ** ....... 0.00 

* The Vinh Hoan single entity includes 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, and Vinh Phuoc 

Food Company Limited. 

** NAVICO is a separate rate respondent 

not individually examined. 

Disclosure 

We intend to disclose the calculations 

performed regarding these final results 

within five days of the date of 

publication of this notice to parties in 

this proceeding in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

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. Consistent with its recent 

notice,21 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). 

Because we calculated a weightedaverage dumping margin of zero for 

Vinh Hoan, and applied that rate to 

NAVICO in the final results of this 

review, we will instruct CBP to 

liquidate the appropriate entries 

without regard to antidumping duties. 

Pursuant to Commerce’s assessment 

practice, for entries of Vinh Hoan’s 

merchandise that were not reported in 

the U.S. sales data submitted by Vinh 

Hoan during this review, Commerce 

will instruct CBP to liquidate such 

entries at the Vietnam-wide entity rate. 

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 reseller policy.22

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 also at a rate of $2.39 

per kilogram, the rate for the Vietnamwide 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 

exporters listed above, the cash deposit 

rate will be equal to the weightedaveraged dumping margin established in 

the final results of review; (2) for 

previously investigated or reviewed 

Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese 

exporters not listed above that maintain 

their eligibility for a separate rate, the 

cash deposit rate will continue to be the 

exporter-specific rate published for the 

most recently-completed segment of this 

proceeding in which they were 

reviewed; (3) for all Vietnamese 

exporters of subject merchandise which 

have not been found to be entitled to a 

separate rate, the cash deposit rate will 

be $2.39 per kilogram, the rate 

established for the Vietnam-wide entity; 

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 exporters that supplied that 

non-Vietnamese exporter. 

The 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. 

Dated: June 25, 2021.

4As AFA, we preliminarily assign Showa Denko 

a dumping margin of 86.22 percent, the highest rate 

on the record of the proceeding. See Glycine from 

Japan: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value, 84 FR 18484 (May 1, 2019). This rate 

achieves the purpose of applying an adverse 

inference, i.e., it is sufficiently adverse to ensure 

that the uncooperative party does not obtain a more 

favorable result by failing to cooperate than if it had 

fully cooperated. Because we previously applied 

this rate in the investigation, according to 776(c)(2) 

of the Act, this rate does not require corroboration. 

5As explained in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum, based on the record information, 

Commerce preliminarily determines that Nagase &

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Commerce initiated this review on 

August 6, 2020.1 We selected two 

mandatory respondents in this review, 

Nagase and Showa Denko K.K. (Showa 

Denko). On October 8, 2020, Showa 

Denko withdrew from participation in 

this administrative review.2 For a more 

detailed description of the events that 

followed the initiation of this review, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.3

The Preliminary 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 Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/ 

frn/index.html. A list of topics 

discussed in the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum is attached as an 

appendix to this notice. 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise subject to the order 

is glycine. For a complete description of 

the scope of this administrative review, 

see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum.3

Methodology 

Commerce is conducting this review 

in accordance with section 751(a)(2) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). Export price and constructed 

export price are calculated in 

accordance with section 772 of the Act. 

Normal value is calculated in 

accordance with section 773 of the Act. 

For a full description of the 

methodology underlying our 

conclusions, see Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

Facts Available 

Pursuant to section 776(a) of the Act, 

Commerce is preliminarily relying upon 

facts otherwise available to assign an 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin to Showa Denko in this review 

because Showa Denko withheld 

necessary information that was 

requested by Commerce, thereby 

significantly impeding the conduct of 

the review. Further, Commerce 

preliminarily determines that Showa 

Denko failed to cooperate by not acting 

to the best of its ability to comply with 

requests for information and, thus, 

Commerce is applying adverse facts 

available (AFA) in determining a 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

Showa Denko, in accordance with 

section 776(b) of the Act. For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our conclusions regarding 

the application of AFA, see the 

Preliminary Decision Memorandum. 

Preliminary Results of Review 

We preliminarily determine that, for 

the period October 31, 2018, through 

May 31, 2020, the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist: 4
