SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 11, 2026, Commerce published the
Preliminary Results
of this administrative review.[1]
On March 31, 2026, Commerce invited interested parties to comment on the
Preliminary Results.[2]
On May 21, 2026, Commerce extended the deadline for issuing the final results of this review by 53 days.[3]
On July 28, 2026, Commerce extended the deadline for the final results by an additional 4 days.[4]
On August 6, 2026, Commerce extended the deadline for the final results by an additional 3 days.[5]
Accordingly, the deadline for these final results is now August 10, 2026. Commerce conducted this administrative review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).
For a complete description of the events that occurred since the
Preliminary Results, see
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.[6]
The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at
access.trade.gov.
In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at
access.trade.gov/​frnotices.
The products covered by the
Order
are fish fillets from Vietnam. For a complete description of the scope of the
Order, see
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Partial Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), when there are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR subject to the antidumping duty order for which liquidation is suspended, Commerce may rescind an administrative review, in whole or only with respect to a particular exporter or producer.[8]
At the end of the administrative review, any suspended entries are liquidated at the assessment rate computed for the review period.[9]
Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry to be liquidated at the newly calculated assessment rate.
In the
Preliminary Results,
Commerce preliminarily rescinded this review with respect to 24 companies and the Vietnam-wide entity because all review requests from the interested parties with standing were withdrawn, and the only remaining review request is from an interested party that did not have standing in this review. We invited interested parties to comment.[10]
We received no comment other than how Commerce inadvertently listed I.D.I. International Development under “Appendix IV—Vietnam-Wide Entity” instead of under “Appendix II—Companies for Which Commerce is Rescinding the Review.” [11]
To rectify this error, we are rescinding this administrative review with respect to this company.[12]
Therefore, in the absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we are hereby rescinding this administrative review, in part, with respect to 25 companies [13]
and the Vietnam-wide entity,[14]
in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised in case and rebuttal briefs filed by interested parties in this administrative review are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is provided in Appendix I to this notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our review of the record and analysis of the comments received, we made certain changes to the
Preliminary Results.
For a more detailed description of the issues raised by parties,
see
the Issues and Decision Memorandum.[15]
Rates for Non-Examined Separate Rate Respondents
We received no comments and made no changes to the methodology in the
Preliminary Results
regarding the separate-rate companies. We continue to find that two companies not individually examined, Cantho Import Export Seafood Joint Stock Company and Nam Viet Corporation, are eligible for separate rates in this administrative review. Accordingly, to determine the rate for companies not selected for individual examination, Commerce's
( printed page 52287)
practice is to weight average the net subsidy rates for the selected mandatory respondents, excluding rates that are zero,
de minimis,
or based entirely on facts available.[16]
Therefore, for the final results of this review, we are assigning to the non-selected separate rate respondents a weighted-average dumping margin based on the average of Bien Dong and NTSF's rates weighted by their ranged, publicly available U.S. sales values.[17]
Vietnam-Wide Entity
As stated in the
Preliminary Results,
because there was no valid request for review of the Vietnam-wide entity in this review, the Vietnam-wide entity is hereby rescinded from review and the Vietnam-wide entity's rate (
i.e.,
$2.39 per kilogram (kg)) is not subject to change.[18]
Commerce considers all other companies for which a review was requested, and which did not demonstrate separate rate eligibility, to be part of the Vietnam-wide entity.
Final Results of Administrative Review
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period covered August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2024:
Exporter
Weighted-average dumping margin
(dollars per kilogram)
Bien Dong Seafood Co., Ltd
1.00
NTSF Seafoods Joint Stock Company
0.38
Rates for Non-Selected Separate Rate Respondents
Can Tho Import Export Seafood Joint Stock Company
0.84
Nam Viet Corporation
0.84
Disclosure
Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed in connection with these final results of review to interested parties in this review 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), Commerce has determined, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise covered by this review. Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.212(b), for Bien Dong and NTSF, we calculated importer-specific assessment rates based on the resulting per-unit (
i.e.,
per kilogram) rates by the weight in kilograms of each entry of the subject merchandise during the POR. Specifically, we calculated importer specific duty assessment rates on a per-unit rate basis by dividing the total dumping margins (calculated as the difference between normal value and export price, or constructed export price) for each importer by the total sales quantity of subject merchandise sold to that importer during the POR.
For all non-selected separate rate respondents subject to this review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate all entries of subject merchandise that entered the United States during the POR at the average of the rates calculated for Bien Dong and NTSF as listed above. For entries of subject merchandise during the POR produced by Bien Dong and NTSF for which they did not know their merchandise was destined for the United States, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the Vietnam-wide rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company or companies involved in the transaction.
For the company for which the review is rescinded, any suspended entries that entered under that exporter's case number (
i.e.,
at that exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the rate as entered. For all other companies, we will instruct CBP to apply the antidumping duty assessment rate of the Vietnam-wide entity, (
i.e.,
$2.39 per kilogram (kg)), to all entries of subject merchandise exported by these companies.[19]
These final results of administrative review shall be the basis for the assessment of antidumping duties on entries of merchandise covered by these final results of this review and for future deposits of estimated duties, where applicable.[20]
For the individually calculated respondent and non-selected separate rate respondents under review, 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 in section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for the companies subject to this review will be the rate established in these final results of the review; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Vietnamese and non-Vietnamese exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which they were reviewed; (3) for all Vietnamese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the rate for the Vietnamese-wide entity (
i.e.,
$2.39 per kilogram ((kg); and (4) for all non-Vietnamese exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Vietnamese exporter(s) that supplied that non-
( printed page 52288)
Vietnamese exporter.[21]
These 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 POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 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 the terms of an APO is a sanctionable violation.
Notification to Interested Parties
These final results of review are issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
Dated: August 10, 2026.
