In these final results, Commerce is also ending the review with no changes to duty rates for An Giang Agriculture and Food Import-Export Joint Stock Company (Afiex), Bien Dong Seafood Co., Ltd. and Vinh Hoan Corporation, all three of which were omitted from the list of companies for which Commerce ended the review in the preliminary results. Entries from these three companies will be liquidated "as entered" at the rate in effect at the time of entry.
New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect March 23
For entries on or after March 23, Commerce is setting new AD duty cash deposit rates. For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except those listed below), 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 China-wide rate applies. The new rates are as follows:
| Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| GODACO Seafood Joint Stock Company | $3.87/kg |
| Cadovimex II Seafood Import-Export and Processing Joint Stock Company | $7.74/kg |
| Can Tho Import-Export Joint Stock Company, aka CASEAMEX | $3.87/kg |
| Cuu Long Fish Joint Stock Company | $3.87/kg |
| Dai Thanh Seafoods Company Limited | $3.87/kg |
| Green Farms Seafood Joint Stock Company | $3.87/kg |
| Hoang Long Seafood Processing Co., Ltd. | $7.74/kg |
| Hung Vuong Group | $3.87/kg |
| NTSF Seafoods Joint Stock Company | $3.87/kg |
| Southern Fishery Industries Company, Ltd. | $3.87/kg |
| Vinh Quang Fisheries Corporation | $3.87/kg |
Vietnam-wide. Commerce said Golden Quality Seafood Corporation, Thuan An Production Trading and Service Co., Ltd., and Anvifish Joint Stock Company did not demonstrate independence from state control, and assigned them to the Vietnam-wide entity, each with a rate of $2.39/kg.
No shipments. Commerce found Saigon-Mekong Fishery Co., Ltd. (SAMEFICO), as well as the entity comprising QVD Food Co., Ltd., QVD Dong Thap Food Co., Ltd. and Thuan Hung Co., Ltd., did not have any exports to the U.S. during the period of review. The cash deposit rates currently in effect for these companies will not change, and any entries during the period of review reported under their case numbers will be assessed duties at the $2.39/kg Vietnam-wide rate.
Assessment Rates for Entries August 2015 - July 2016
Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to set assessments of AD duties on importers of subject merchandise for entries between Aug. 1, 2015, and July 31, 2016. Commerce will liquidate entries at the rates listed above.
