The United States issued preliminary conclusions in the second administrative review of anti-dumping duties on pure honey imported from Vietnam.

1. Investigation conclusion

DOC determined the dumping margins of the two mandatory Vietnamese respondent companies in the review period to be 6.72% and 21.55%, respectively. The other 12 companies eligible for separate tax rates in this administrative review will be subject to a tax rate of 14.14%, equal to the simple average of the margins of the two respondent companies. This tax rate has been significantly reduced compared to the final tax rate of the first administrative review (period from August 25, 2021 to May 31, 2023) issued in April 2025, which was from 100.72% - 156.96%.

The remaining companies that do not qualify for individual rates or do not participate in the review or are new exporters will continue to be subject to the original nationwide rate of 60.03%.

2. Other information

Because Vietnam is still considered by the United States as a non-market economy (NME) in this case, DOC applies the normal value method through the surrogate value of a third country as prescribed in Section 773(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930.

Businesses and interested parties have the right to submit a case brief within 21 days of publication of this notice, followed by a rebuttal brief within 5 days. Interested parties who wish to request a hearing must submit a written request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, through the U.S. Department of Commerce's electronic trade defense system (ACCESS), by 5 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days of publication of this notice. The issues raised at the hearing will be limited to those raised in the respective case briefs.

DOC expects to issue its final determinations within 120 days of this preliminary notice. Pursuant to Section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, the final results of this review will be used to determine the antidumping duties on the entries during the review period and to determine the amount of the future proposed cash deposits.
