Vietnam Raw Honey: Commerce Orders Retroactive AD Duties

The Commerce Department will retroactively suspend liquidation and require antidumping duty cash deposits for all exporters of raw honey from Vietnam (A-552-833), it said in a notice. Commerce made a new finding of critical circumstances for all Vietnamese companies, including Ban Me Thuot, DakHoney, the average rate companies and the Vietnam-wide entity. As a result, Commerce will direct CBP to suspend liquidation and require AD duty cash deposits at the applicable rate for any unliquidated entries on or after Aug. 25, 2021 (i.e., 90 days prior to Commerce’s Nov. 23, 2021, preliminary determination).
