Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the final results
of this administrative review, Commerce
shall determine, and U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries covered by this review.13
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), if the
weighted-average dumping margin for
Goodluck or TII is not zero or de
minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in
the final results of this review, we will
calculate importer-specific assessment
rates based on the ratio of the total
amount of dumping calculated for the
importer’s examined sales to the total
entered value of those same sales. If
either respondent’s weighted-average
dumping margin is zero or de minimis
in the final results of review, or if an
importer-specific assessment rate is zero
or de minimis, Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties.
The final results of this review shall be
the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of
merchandise covered by this review,
and for future deposits of estimated
duties, where applicable.14
In accordance with Commerce’s
‘‘automatic assessment’’ practice, for
entries of subject merchandise during
the POR produced by Goodluck or TII
for which the company did not know
that the merchandise was destined for
the United States, we will instruct CBP
to liquidate those entries at the allothers rate established in the original
less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation
(i.e., 5.87 percent) 15 if there is no rate
for the intermediate company(ies)
involved in the transaction.16
Commerce intends to issue
assessment instructions to CBP no
earlier than 35 days after the date of
publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a
timely summons is filed at the U.S.
Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP
not to liquidate relevant entries until the
time for parties to file a request for a
statutory injunction has expired (i.e.,
within 90 days of publication).

Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit
requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the
publication date of the final results of
this administrative review, as provided
by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the
cash deposit rate for the companies
listed above will be equal to the
weighted-average dumping margins
established in the final results of this
review, except if the rate is less than
0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis
within the meaning of 19 CFR
351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash
deposit rate will be zero; (2) for
merchandise exported by a company not
covered in this review, but covered in
a prior segment of the proceeding, the
cash deposit rate will be the companyspecific rate published for the most
recently-completed segment in which it
was reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not
a firm covered in this review or in the
original LTFV investigation, but the
producer is, then the cash deposit rate
will be the rate established for the most
recently-completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of the
merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit
rate for all other producers or exporters
will continue to be 5.87 percent, the allothers rate established in the LTFV
investigation as adjusted for the exportsubsidy rate in the companion
countervailing duty investigation.17
These cash deposit requirements, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended,
Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review,
including the results of its analysis of
the issues raised in any written briefs,
no later than 120 days after the date of
publication of this notice, pursuant to
section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19
CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a
preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR
351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of
antidumping and/or countervailing
duties prior to liquidation of the
relevant entries during this review
period. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce’s
presumption that reimbursement of
antidumping and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent

Background
On June 10, 2022, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
antidumping duty (AD) order on raw
honey from Vietnam. On June 1, 2023,
Commerce published in the Federal
Register a notice of opportunity to
request an administrative review of the
Order.1 In the June Opportunity Notice
Commerce inadvertently listed an
incorrect POR for this proceeding.2
Commerce noted this error in its August
Initiation Notice in which it initiated
the review for this proceeding.3
Commerce also noted the error in a
subsequent opportunity notice, giving
parties a further opportunity to request
an administrative review using the
correct POR.4
On August 3, 2023, Commerce
published in the Federal Register the
initiation notice of an administrative
review of the AD Order on raw honey
from Vietnam.5 Commerce further
published an addendum to the August
Initiation Notice in which it initiated a
review of raw honey from Vietnam for
two companies, one that requested a
review based on the August Opportunity
Notice and one company for which
Commerce failed to initiate a review
based on its request for review made
pursuant to the June Opportunity
Notice.6 Commerce selected BMT and
DakHoney as mandatory respondents in
this administrative review.7

review requests were filed for two separate
companies with minor variations in their names:

Scope of the Order
The product covered by this Order is
raw honey from Vietnam. Raw honey is
honey as it exists in the beehive or as
obtained by extraction, settling and
skimming, or coarse straining. The
merchandise subject to this
investigation is currently classifiable
under statistical subheading
0409.00.0005, 0409.00.0035,
0409.00.0045, 0409.00.0056, and
0409.00.0065 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Although the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of this investigation is dispositive.
A full description of the scope of the
Order is contained in the Preliminary
Decision Memorandum.10
Separate Rates
The Act and Commerce’s regulations
do not address the establishment of a
separate rate to be applied to companies
not selected for individual examination
when Commerce limits its examination
in an administrative review pursuant to
section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally,
Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of
the Act, which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in an
investigation, for guidance when
calculating the rate for separate-rate
respondents which Commerce did not
examine individually in an
administrative review. Section
735(c)(5)(A) of the Act states that the allothers rate should be calculated by
averaging the weighted-average
dumping margins calculated for
individually-examined respondents,
excluding dumping margins that are
zero, de minimis, or based entirely on
facts available. For the preliminary
results of this review, Commerce
determined the estimated dumping
margins for BMT and DakHoney to be
100.54 percent and 154.47 percent,
respectively, and we have assigned to
the separate-rate companies a rate of
120.92 percent, which is the weighted8 See Memorandum, ‘‘Extension of Deadline for
Preliminary Results of Antidumping Duty
Administrative Review,’’ dated January 29, 2024.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an
executive summary of their briefs that should be limited to five pages
total, including footnotes. In this review, we instead request that
interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public,
executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs.\9\ Further, we
request that interested parties limit their public executive summary of
each issue to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We
intend to use the public executive summaries as the basis of the
comment summaries included in the issues and decision memorandum that
will accompany the final results in this administrative review. We
request that interested parties include footnotes for relevant
citations in the public executive summary of each issue. Note that
Commerce has amended certain of its requirements pertaining to the
service of documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).\10\

Interested parties who wish to request a hearing must submit a
written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and
Compliance, filed electronically via ACCESS,\11\ within 30 days after
the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register.
Requests should contain: (1) the party's name, address, and telephone
number; (2) the number of participants and whether any participant is a
foreign national; and (3) a list of issues to be discussed. Issues

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment Rates
Upon completion of the final results of this administrative review,
Commerce shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by
this review.\13\ Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), if the weighted-
average dumping margin for Goodluck or TII is not zero or de minimis
(i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this review, we
will calculate importer-specific assessment rates based on the ratio of
the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined
sales to the total entered value of those same sales. If either
respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis in
the final results of review, or if an importer-specific assessment rate
is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties. The final
results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of
antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by this review,
and for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
\14\ See section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with Commerce's ``automatic assessment'' practice,
for entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Goodluck
or TII for which the company did not know that the merchandise was
destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate those
entries at the all-others rate established in the original less-than-
fair-value (LTFV) investigation (i.e., 5.87 percent) \15\ if there is
no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction.\16\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ See Order, 83 FR at 26965.
\16\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the
final results of this administrative review, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the companies
listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margins
established in the final results of this review, except if the rate is
less than 0.50 percent and, therefore, de minimis within the meaning of
19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero;
(2) for merchandise exported by a company not covered in this review,
but covered in a prior segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate
will be the company-specific rate published for the most recently-
completed segment in which it was reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not
a firm covered in this review or in the original LTFV investigation,
but the producer is, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate
established for the most recently-completed segment of this proceeding
for the producer of the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for
all other producers or exporters will continue to be 5.87 percent, the
all-others rate established in the LTFV investigation as adjusted for
the export-subsidy rate in the companion countervailing duty
investigation.\17\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\17\ See Order, 83 FR at 26965.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of this administrative review, including the results of its
analysis of the issues raised in any written briefs, no later than 120
days after the date of publication of this notice, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of
their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this review period.
Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's
presumption that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing
duties occurred and the subsequent
[[Page 55554]]
assessment of double antidumping duties, and/or an increase in the
amount of antidumping duties by the amount of the countervailing
duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
Commerce is issuing and publishing these preliminary results in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR
351.213(h)(2) and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: June 28, 2024.
