Background
On November 23, 2021, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
preliminary determination in the LTFV
investigation of raw honey from Brazil.1
Also on this same date, one of the
mandatory respondents in the case,
Supermel,2 filed a timely ministerial

Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less-ThanFair-Value Investigation, Postponement of Final
Determination, and Extension of Provisional
Measures, 86 FR 66533 (November 23, 2021)

error allegation concerning the
Preliminary Determination.3
Period of Investigation
The period of investigation is April 1,
2020, through March 31, 2021.
Scope of the Investigation
The product covered by this
investigation is raw honey from Brazil.
For a complete description of the scope
of this investigation, see the appendix.
Significant Ministerial Error
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(e), Commerce ‘‘will analyze any
comments received and, if appropriate,
correct any significant ministerial error
by amending the preliminary
determination. . .’’ A ministerial error
is defined in 19 CFR 351.224(f) as ‘‘an
error in addition, subtraction, or other
arithmetic function clerical error
resulting from inaccurate copying,
duplication, or the like, and any other
similar type of unintentional error
which the Secretary considers
ministerial.’’ A significant ministerial
error is defined as a ministerial error,
the correction of which, singly or in
combination with other errors, would
result in: (1) A change of at least five
absolute percentage points in, but not
less than 25 percent of, the weightedaverage dumping margin calculated in
the original preliminary determination;
or (2) a difference between a weightedaverage dumping margin of zero or de
minimis and a weighted-average
dumping margin of greater than de
minimis or vice versa.4
Ministerial Error Allegations
Supermel timely alleged that
Commerce made a ministerial error
involving the calculation of Supermel’s
general and administrative (G&A)
expenses and interest expenses.
Supermel alleged that Commerce, in
calculating these expenses, treated the
company’s reported per-kilogram figures
as expense ratios, rather than as
absolute amounts, and then it used the
resulting expenses in its sales-belowcost test and constructed value
calculations; Supermel alleges that this
inflated the preliminary weightedaverage dumping margin calculation for
Supermel.5 After analyzing this
allegation, we determine that we made
a significant ministerial error in the
Preliminary Determination with respect
3 See Supermel’s Letter, ‘‘Anti-Dumping Duty
Investigation of Raw Honey from Brazil: Supermel’s
Ministerial Error Comments,’’ dated November 23,
2021 (Supermel’s Ministerial Error Allegations).
4 See 19 CFR 351.224(g)(1) and (2).
