Determination of Sales at Less Than 

Fair Value and Final Affirmative 

Determination of Critical 

Circumstances 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(Commerce) determines that imports of 

raw honey from the Socialist Republic 

of Vietnam (Vietnam) are being, or are 

likely to be, sold in the United States at 

less than fair value (LTFV) for the 

period of investigation (POI) October 1, 

2020, through March 31, 2021. 

DATES: Applicable April 14, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 23, 2021, Commerce 

published the Preliminary 

Determination in the LTFV investigation 

of raw honey from Vietnam, in which it 

also postponed the final determination 

until April 7, 2022.1 Additionally, on 

January 13, 2021, Commerce published 

the Preliminary Determination of 

Critical Circumstances in the LTFV 

investigation of raw honey from 

Vietnam.2 The petitioners in this 

investigation are the American Honey 

Producers Association and Sioux Honey 

Association (collectively, the 

petitioners). The two mandatory 

respondents in this investigation are 

Ban Me Thuot Honeybee Joint Stock 

Company (Ban Me Thuot) and Daklak 

Honeybee Joint Stock Company 

(DakHoney).3 We invited interested 

parties to comment on the Preliminary 

Determination.4 For a complete 

summary of the events that occurred 

since Commerce published the 

Preliminary Determination, as well as a 

full discussion of the issues raised by 

parties for this final determination, see 

Issues and Decision Memorandum.5

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 https://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. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The product covered by this 

investigation is raw honey from 

Vietnam. For a full description of the 

scope of this investigation, see 

Appendix I. 

Scope Comments 

Commerce received no comments 

from interested parties regarding the 

scope of this investigation. Accordingly, 

Commerce has not modified the scope 

language from the Preliminary 

Determination. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs that were submitted by 

parties in this investigation are 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. A list of the issues 

addressed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum is attached to this notice 

at Appendix II. 

Verification 

Commerce was unable to conduct onsite verification of the information 

relied upon in making its final 

determination in this investigation. 

However, we took additional steps in 

lieu of an on-site verification to verify 

the information relied upon in making 

this final determination, in accordance 

with section 782(i) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act).6

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this 

investigation in accordance with section 

731 of the Act. Export price was 

calculated in accordance with section 

772(a) of the Act. Because Vietnam is a 

non-market economy within the 

meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, 

normal value was calculated in 

accordance with section 773(c) of the 

Act. For a full description of the 

methodology underlying Commerce’s 

determination, see the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum; see also the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. 

Vietnam-Wide Entity 

For the reasons explained in our 

Preliminary Determination, we continue 

to find that neither the Vietnam-wide 

entity nor any company which is part of 

the Vietnam-wide entity has failed to 

cooperate in this investigation. 

Therefore, in accordance with our 

practice, to determine the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

the Vietnam-wide entity, Commerce 

assigns to the Vietnam-wide entity a rate 

equal to the average of publicly 

available ranged U.S. sales quantities of 

the mandatory respondents.

at http://enforcement.trade.gov/policy/bull05-1.pdf. 

Changes Since the Preliminary 

Determination 

Based on our analysis of the 

comments received, we made certain 

changes to the margin calculations for 

Ban Me Thuot and DakHoney. In light 

of these changes to the margin 

calculations and the resulting revised 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margin for Ban Me Thuot and 

DakHoney, we have also revised the 

rates assigned to companies eligible for 

a separate rate and to the Vietnam-wide 

entity. For a discussion of these 

changes, see the ‘‘Changes Since the 

Preliminary Determination’’ section of 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum, 

and the Final Analysis Memoranda.7

Final Affirmative Determination of 

Critical Circumstances 

Commerce preliminarily determined 

that critical circumstances did exist for 

Ban Me Thuot and DakHoney, the 

eligible separate rate companies, and the 

Vietnam-wide entity.8 Parties submitted 

comments regarding our affirmative 

preliminary critical circumstances 

determination; see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. For the final 

determination, in accordance with 

section 735(a)(3) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.206, Commerce continues to find 

that critical circumstances do exist for 

Ban Me Thuot and DakHoney, the 

eligible separate rate companies, and the 

Vietnam-wide entity. For a full 

description of the methodology and 

results of Commerce’s critical 

circumstances analysis, see the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum. 

Separate Rates 

No party commented on our 

preliminary separate rate 

determinations with respect to the 

mandatory respondents and the nonindividually examined companies. 

Thus, there is no basis to reconsider the 

Preliminary Determination with respect 

to separate rate status for this final 

determination. 

Combination Rates 

In the Initiation Notice,9 Commerce 

stated that it would calculate producer/ 

exporter combination rates for the 

respondents that are eligible for a 

separate rate in this investigation.10 For 

the list of respondents that established 

eligibility for separate rates and 

exporter-producer combination rates 

applicable to these respondents, see the 

Final Determination section. 

Final Determination 

Commerce determines that the final 

estimated weighted-average dumping 

margins are as follows:

Continuation of Suspension of 

Liquidation 

In accordance with section 

735(c)(4)(A) of the Act, because we 

continue to find that critical 

circumstances exist, Commerce will 

instruct U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP) to continue to suspend 

liquidation of all appropriate entries of 

raw honey from Vietnam, as described 

in Appendix I of this notice, which were 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after August 25, 

2021, which is 90 days prior to the date 

of publication of the affirmative 

Preliminary Determination in the 

Federal Register. 

Pursuant to section 735(c)(1)(B)(ii) of 

the Act and 19 CFR 351.210(d), upon 

publication of this notice, Commerce 

will instruct CBP to require a cash 

deposit for estimated antidumping 

duties for such entries as follows: (1) 

For the exporter/producer combinations 

listed in the table above, the cash 

deposit rate is equal to the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin 

listed for that combination in the table; 

(2) for all combinations of Vietnamese 

exporters/producers not listed in the 

above table, the cash deposit rate is 

equal to the estimated weighted-average 

dumping margin listed in the table for 

the Vietnam-wide entity; and (3) for all 

third-country exporters, the cash 

deposit rate is equal to the cash deposit 

rate applicable to the Vietnamese 

exporter/producer combination (or the 

Vietnam-wide entity) that supplied that 

third-country exporter. These 

suspension of liquidation instructions 

will remain in effect until further notice. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

Notification 

In accordance with section 735(d) of 

the Act, Commerce will notify the ITC 

of the final affirmative determination of 

sales at LTFV. Because the final 

determination is affirmative, in 

accordance with section 735(b)(2)(B) of 

the Act, the ITC will make its final 

determination as to whether the 

domestic industry in the United States 

is materially injured, or threatened with 

material injury, no later than 45 days 

after this final determination. If the ITC 

determines that material injury or threat 

of material injury does not exist, this 

proceeding will be terminated, and all 

cash deposited will be refunded. If the 

ITC determines that material injury or 

threat of material injury does exist, 

Commerce will issue an antidumping 

duty order directing CBP to assess, upon 

further instruction by Commerce, 

antidumping duties on all imports of the 

subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption on or after the effective 

date of the suspension of liquidation. 

Notification Regarding APO 

This notice serves as a reminder to the 

parties subject to APO of their 

responsibility concerning the 

disposition of propriety information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return or 

destruction of APO materials or, 

alternatively, conversion to judicial 

protective order, is hereby requested. 

Failure to comply with the regulations 

and terms of an APO is a violation that 

is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This determination is issued and 

published pursuant to sections 735(d) 

and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.210(c). 

Dated: April 7, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. 

Appendix I—Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is raw honey. Raw honey is 

honey as it exists in the beehive or as 

obtained by extraction, settling and 

skimming, or coarse straining. Raw honey 

has not been filtered to a level that results in 

the removal of most or all of the pollen, e.g., 

a level that removes pollen to below 25 

microns. The subject products include all 

grades, floral sources and colors of raw honey 

and also include organic raw honey. 

Excluded from the scope is any honey that 

is packaged for retail sale (e.g., in bottles or 

other retail containers of five (5) lbs. or less). 

The merchandise subject to this 

investigation is currently classifiable under 

statistical subheading 0409.00.0005, 

0409.00.0035, 0409.00.0045, 0409.00.0056, 

and 0409.00.0065 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

Although the HTSUS subheadings are 

provided for convenience and customs 

purposes, the written description of the 

scope of this investigation is dispositive.
