SUMMARY: On March 9, 2015, the
Department of Commerce
(‘‘Department’’) published in the
Federal Register the Preliminary Results
of the ninth administrative review of the
antidumping duty Order 1 on certain
warmwater shrimp from the Socialist
Republic of Vietnam (‘‘Vietnam’’).2
Based upon our analysis of the
comments and information received, we
determine that Minh Phu Group 3 and
Thuan Phuoc 4 sold subject merchandise
at less than normal value (‘‘NV’’) during
the period of review (‘‘POR’’), February
1, 2013, through January 31, 2014. The
Department determines that sales of
subject merchandise by Fimex VN 5
were not made below NV.
DATES: Effective Date: September 15,
2015.

Preliminary Results. On March 10, 2015,
VASEP 6 filed surrogate value
information rebutting certain surrogate
values we applied in the Preliminary
Results. Between April 20, 2015, and
May 4, 2015, the Department conducted
verification of Fimex VN and Thuan
Phuoc. On June 5, 2015, the Department
extended the time limit for these final
results by 60 days. We gave interested
parties an opportunity to comment on
the Preliminary Results. On June 8,
2015, Petitioner 7 and VASEP submitted
their case briefs. On June 13, 205,
Petitioner, Domestic Processors,8 and
VASEP filed their rebuttal briefs.
Scope of the Order
The merchandise subject to the order
is certain frozen warmwater shrimp.

instructions that are consistent with our
‘‘automatic assessment’’ clarification,
for these final results.
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, we
determined that 32 companies 11
(‘‘Separate Rate Respondents’’) in
addition to Minh Phu Group, Fimex VN,
and Thuan Phuoc met the criteria for
separate rate status. We have not
received any information since the
issuance of the Preliminary Results that
provides a basis for reconsidering this
preliminary determination. Therefore,
the Department continues to find that
these companies meet the criteria for a
separate rate for the final results.
In the Preliminary Results, the
Department determined the following
companies did not have any reviewable
transactions during the POR: (1) Bien
Dong Seafood Co., Ltd.; (2) BIM Foods
Joint Stock Company; (3) Cafatex
Fishery Joint Stock Corporation; (4)
Camau Seafood Processing and Service
Joint-stock Corporation; (5) Camranh
Seafoods Co., Ltd.; (6) Nhat Duc Co.,
Ltd.; (7) Phu Cuong Jostco Seafood
Corporation; and (8) Seavina Joint Stock
Company. As we have not received any
information to contradict this
determination, the Department
determines that the above-named
companies did not have any reviewable
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR, and will issue appropriate
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
The Department has made changes to
a surrogate value and to the companyspecific margin calculation programs
since the Preliminary Results. For
detailed information, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum and the
company-specific final results analysis
memoranda.
Separate Rates
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
For the final results, the calculated
rates for the mandatory respondents
have changed from the Preliminary
Results. Therefore, we recalculated the
sample rate assigned to the Separate
Rate Respondents for the final results of
this review, and we continue to
determine that a ‘‘reasonable method for
determining the weighted-average
dumping margins for the non-selected
respondents in this review is to average
the weighted-average dumping margins
calculated for the mandatory
respondents,’’ as noted in the
Preliminary Results.12
Final Results of Review
In the Preliminary Results, we found
that 56 companies for which a review
was requested have not established
eligibility for a separate rate and, thus,
we considered them to be part of the
Vietnam-wide entity.13 The
Department’s change in policy regarding
conditional review of the Vietnam-wide
entity applies to this administrative
review.14 Under this policy, the
Vietnam-wide entity will not be under
review unless a party specifically
requests, or the Department selfinitiates, a review of the entity. Because
no party requested a review of the
Vietnam-wide entity, the entity is not
under review and the entity’s rate is not
subject to change. For companies for
which a review was requested and that
have established eligibility for a
separate rate, the Department
determines that the following weightedaverage dumping margins exist:

to the issues we have had in the past with

affiliated with the Minh Phu Group group of
companies, and that they comprise a single entity,

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (‘‘the
Act’’) and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the
Department will determine, and U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (‘‘CBP’’)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review. The
Department intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the
date of publication of these final results
of review.
For any individually examined
respondent whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis
(i.e., 0.50 percent), the Department will
calculate importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for the
importer’s examined sales and the total
entered value of sales. Where we do not
have entered values for all U.S. sales to

a particular importer/customer, we
calculate a per-unit assessment rate by
aggregating the antidumping duties due
for all U.S. sales to that importer (or
customer) and dividing this amount by
the total quantity sold to that importer
(or customer).17 To determine whether
the duty assessment rates are de
minimis, in accordance with the
requirement set forth in 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we calculated importer(or customer-) specific ad valorem ratios
based on the estimated entered value.
Where either a respondent’s weighted
average dumping margin is zero or de
minimis, or an importer- (or customer) specific ad valorem rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.18
Additionally, consistent with its
assessment practice in non-market
economy (NME) cases, if the
Department continues to determine that
an exporter under review had no
shipments of the subject merchandise,
any suspended entries that entered

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this
administrative review for shipments of
the subject merchandise from Vietnam
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date, as provided by
sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For
the companies listed above, which have
a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will
be that established in the final results of
this review (except, if the rate is zero or
de minimis, then zero cash deposit will
be required); (2) for previously
investigated or reviewed Vietnam and
non-Vietnam exporters not listed above
that received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the
existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all
Vietnam exporters of subject
merchandise that have not been found
to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be that for the Vietnamwide entity; and (4) for all non-Vietnam
exporters of subject merchandise which
have not received their own rate, the
cash deposit rate will be the rate
applicable to the Vietnam exporter that
supplied that non-Vietnam exporter.
These deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.

Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a reminder
to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 the
Department’s presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties
occurred and the subsequent assessment
of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative

information in this segment of the

we respond in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is attached to this
notice as an Appendix. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public

Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, the Department determined the following
companies did not have any reviewable transactions during the POR: (1)
Bien Dong Seafood Co., Ltd.; (2) BIM Foods Joint Stock Company; (3)
Cafatex Fishery Joint Stock Corporation; (4) Camau Seafood Processing
and Service Joint-stock Corporation; (5) Camranh Seafoods Co., Ltd.;
(6) Nhat Duc Co., Ltd.; (7) Phu Cuong Jostco Seafood Corporation; and
(8) Seavina Joint Stock Company. As we have not received any
information to contradict this determination, the Department determines
that the above-named companies did not have any reviewable entries of
subject merchandise during the POR, and will issue appropriate
instructions that are consistent with our ``automatic assessment''
clarification, for these final results.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
The Department has made changes to a surrogate value and to the
company-specific margin calculation programs since the Preliminary
Results. For detailed information, see the Issues and Decision
Memorandum and the company-specific final results analysis memoranda.
Separate Rates
In the Preliminary Results, we determined that 32 companies \11\
(``Separate Rate Respondents'') in addition to Minh Phu Group, Fimex
VN, and Thuan Phuoc met the criteria for separate rate status. We have
not received any information since the issuance of the Preliminary
Results that provides a basis for reconsidering this preliminary
determination. Therefore, the Department continues to find that these
companies meet the criteria for a separate rate for the final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See Issues and Decision Memorandum at Appendix I.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
For the final results, the calculated rates for the mandatory
respondents have changed from the Preliminary Results. Therefore, we
recalculated the sample rate assigned to the Separate Rate Respondents
for the final results of this review, and we continue to determine that
a ``reasonable method for determining the weighted-average dumping
margins for the non-selected respondents in this review is to average
the weighted-average dumping margins calculated for the mandatory
respondents,'' as noted in the Preliminary Results.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Preliminary Results, and accompanying Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
In the Preliminary Results, we found that 56 companies for which a
review was requested have not established eligibility for a separate
rate and, thus, we considered them to be part of the Vietnam-wide
entity.\13\ The Department's change in policy regarding conditional
review of the Vietnam-wide entity applies to this administrative
review.\14\ Under this policy, the Vietnam-wide entity will not be
under review unless a party specifically requests, or the Department
self-initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party requested a
review of the Vietnam-wide entity, the entity is not under review and
the entity's rate is not subject to change. For companies for which a
review was requested and that have established eligibility for a
separate rate, the Department determines that the following weighted-
average dumping margins exist:

full list of the 56 companies; see also Preliminary Decision
Memorandum, at 9-10.

Disclosure and Public Comment
We will disclose the calculations performed within five days of the
date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ Due to the issues we have had in the past with variations
of exporter names related to this Order, we remind exporters that
the names listed below are the exact names, including spelling and
punctuation which the Department will provide to CBP and which CBP
will use to assess POR entries and collect cash deposits.
\16\ The Department previously collapsed the companies within
the Minh Phu Group in the sixth administrative review. See Certain
Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the Socialist Republic of Vietnam:
Preliminary Results of Administrative Review, 77 FR 13547, 13549
(March 7, 2012), unchanged in Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From
the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Final Results and Final Partial
Rescission of Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 77 FR 55800
(September 11, 2012). In the Preliminary Results, the Department
reevaluated the collapsed entity based on a corporate structure and
name change of one of the collapsed companies, Minh Phu Hau Giang
Seafood Co., Ltd. See ``Memorandum to the File, through Catherine
Bertrand, Program Manager, Office V, from Irene Gorelik, Senior
Analyst, Office V, re; Collapsing Determination for the Minh Phu
Seafood Corporation and its Affiliates, with Minh Phu Hau Giang
Seafood Joint Stock Company,'' dated March 2, 2015. We have made no
changes since the Preliminary Results with respect to Minh Phu Hau
Giang Seafood Joint Stock Company being part of the Minh Phu Group
single entity. Thus, for the final results, we continue to find that
Minh Phu Hau Giang Seafood Joint Stock Company is affiliated with
the Minh Phu Group group of companies, and that they comprise a
single entity, to which we will assign a single rate. The company
name and trade names formerly used by Minh Phu Hau Giang Seafood
Joint Stock Company have not been included above, for cash deposit
purposes, based on the information submitted on the record. However,
the former names will be included for liquidation purposes.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (``the Act'') and 19 CFR 351.212(b), the Department will
determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') shall
assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the final results of this review. The
Department intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days
after the date of publication of these final results of review.
For any individually examined respondent whose weighted-average
dumping margin is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent), the Department
will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the
ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's
examined sales and the total entered value of sales. Where we do not
have entered values for all U.S. sales to a particular importer/
customer, we calculate a per-unit assessment rate by aggregating the
antidumping duties due for all U.S. sales to that importer (or
customer) and dividing this amount by the total quantity sold to that
importer (or customer).\17\ To determine whether the duty assessment
rates are de minimis, in accordance with the requirement set forth in
19 CFR 351.106(c)(2), we calculated importer- (or customer-) specific
ad valorem ratios based on the estimated entered value. Where either a
respondent's weighted average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or
an importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem rate is zero or de
minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.\18\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\18\ See 19 CFR 352.106(c)(2); Antidumping Proceeding:
Calculation of the Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and Assessment
Rate in Certain Antidumping Proceedings; Final Modification, 77 FR
8101, 8103 (February 14, 2012) (``Final Modification for Reviews'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additionally, consistent with its assessment practice in non-market
economy (NME) cases, if the Department continues to determine that an
exporter under review had no shipments of the subject merchandise, any
suspended entries that entered
[[Page 55331]]
under that exporter's case number (i.e., at that exporter's rate) will
be liquidated at the NME-wide rate.\19\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Non-Market
Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for
shipments of the subject merchandise from Vietnam entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided by sections 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the companies
listed above, which have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be
that established in the final results of this review (except, if the
rate is zero or de minimis, then zero cash deposit will be required);
(2) for previously investigated or reviewed Vietnam and non-Vietnam
exporters not listed above that received a separate rate in a prior
segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the existing exporter-specific rate; (3) for all Vietnam exporters of
subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be that for the Vietnam-wide
entity; and (4) for all non-Vietnam exporters of subject merchandise
which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be
the rate applicable to the Vietnam exporter that supplied that non-
Vietnam exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) 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 the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
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, 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.
This determination is issued and published in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: September 8, 2015.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
