SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On June 12, 2026, Commerce published the Final Results of the 2023-2024 administrative review of the AD order on raw honey from Argentina in the Federal Register .^[1] On June 15, 2026, Commerce received a timely filed allegation of ministerial errors from Asociación de Cooperativas Argentinas C.L. (ACA) with regard to its final dumping margin calculation.^[2]

Legal Framework

Section 751(h) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), defines a ministerial error as including “errors in addition, subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical errors resulting from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other unintentional error which the administering authority considers ministerial.” ^[3] With respect to final results of administrative reviews, 19 CFR 351.224(e) provides that Commerce “will analyze any comments received and, if appropriate, correct any . . . ministerial error by amending the final results of review . . . {.}”

Ministerial Errors

ACA alleges that Commerce inadvertently conducted certain dumping comparisons twice, leading to a duplication of the dumping calculated for certain transactions, which was a ministerial error.^[4] We agree with ACA that we made a ministerial error regarding the duplication of certain comparisons that doubled the calculated amount of dumping for certain U.S. sales transactions. Pursuant to section 751(h) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f), we have amended our calculations to correct this ministerial error.^[5] Additionally, in the course of correcting the error identified by ACA, we found an error in the conversion of general and administrative expenses from kilograms to metric tons, in the calculation of constructed value.

Based on these corrections, ACA's final weighted-average dumping margin is 17.76 percent. As a result, we are also amending the rate for the companies not selected for individual examination in this review, from 21.35 to 17.76 percent, based on the weighted-average dumping margin calculated for ACA, the only calculated rate in this review that is not zero, de minimis or determined entirely under section 776 of the Act.

For a complete discussion of the ministerial error allegation, as well as Commerce's analysis, see the ACA Ministerial Error Memorandum.^[6] The ACA Ministerial Error Memorandum is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS), which is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov.

Correction

Additionally, as discussed in the Preliminary Results,^[7] we rescinded, in part, the administrative review for eight companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3): (1) Algodonera Avellaneda S.A.; (2) Apicola Danangie; (3) Argentik LLC; (4) Camino de Circunvalancion y Calle; (5) Compania Inversora Platense S.A.; (6) Cooperativa Apicola La Colmena Ltda; (7) Industrial Haedo S.A; and (8) Mieles Cor Pam Srl).^[8] However, we inadvertently listed Compania Inversora Platense S.A., and Cooperativa Apicola La Colmena Ltda, as non-examined companies receiving a review-specific rate.^[9] A corrected list of these companies is included in an appendix to this notice.

Amended Final Results of Review

As a result of correcting the ministerial error, determines the following estimated weighted-average dumping margins for the period of June 1, 2023, through May 31, 2024:

Disclosure

Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in connection with these amended final results of review to interested parties within five days after public announcement of the final results or, if there is no public announcement, within five days of the date of publication of this notice in the Federal Register , in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), Commerce 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 amended final results of this review. The amended final results of this review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by the amended final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.^[11]

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we calculated importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for each importer's examined sales and the total entered value of those sales. Where either the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis within the meaning of 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1), or an importer-specific assessment rate is de minimis ( i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.

For all non-selected companies listed in the appendix to this notice, we will instruct CBP to liquidate all entries of subject merchandise that entered the United States during the POR at the rate calculated for ACA as listed above.

For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by ACA for which it did not know that its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the all-others rate established in the less-than-fair-value (LTFV) investigation, if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.

Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of these amended 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 amended cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after June 12, 2026, the publication date of the Final Results, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the amended cash deposit rate for the companies listed above will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in these amended final results of review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior completed segment of the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original investigation but the producer has been covered in a prior completed segment of this proceeding, then the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the completed segment for the most recent period for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 16.92 percent, the all-others rate established in the Section 129 Determination.^[12] The cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

This notice serves as a final 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 review period. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of the antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Order (APO)

This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written notification of the return/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.

Notification to Interested Parties

We are issuing and publishing these amended final results of administrative review in accordance with sections 751(h) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.224(e).
