China Honey: Final Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department issued the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on honey from China (A-570-863). Commerce found the only company under review, Jiangsu Runchen Agricultural/Sideline Foodstuff Co., Ltd., had no bona fide shipments of subject merchandise to the U.S. during the period of review. As such, the AD cash deposit rate for Runchen will remain at the rate set for the company in the most recently completed proceeding (i.e., the original final determination or a prior administrative review).

Because Commerce found that Runchen had no shipments of subject merchandise during the period under review, any suspended entries that entered under these companies' antidumping duty case numbers Dec. 1, 2017, through Nov. 30, 2018, will be assessed AD duties at the $2.63/kg China-wide rate, it said.

For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except Runchen), cash deposit rates will also 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 review period is 12/01/17-11/30/18. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 1912030041 for a summary of the preliminary results of this AD administrative review.
