US initiates administrative review of anti-dumping duty order on honey from Vietnam

The Department of Trade Remedies, Ministry of Industry and Trade said that on July 29, 2024, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced the initiation of a second administrative review of the anti-dumping duty order on Vietnamese honey.

The review period is from June 1, 2023 to May 31, 2024. The review list is expected to include businesses exporting honey to the United States. Any business on this list that does not export honey to the United States during the review period must notify the U.S. Department of Commerce within 30 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the review (expected to be by August 28, 2024) if any shipments are suspended for consideration.

According to the regulations, within 35 days from the date of publication of the notice of initiation (expected September 2, 2024), DOC is expected to select enterprises as mandatory respondents in the case based on the enterprises' export volume from high to low according to data from the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). In addition, within 90 days from the date of publication of the notice of initiation of review, the parties can withdraw their request for review (expected October 27, 2024).

In addition, for countries that the United States considers to be non-market economies such as Vietnam, in order to enjoy separate tax rates, enterprises must apply for separate tax rates within 30 days from the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the review (expected August 28, 2024). In case the enterprise does not apply for separate tax rates and is not selected as a mandatory respondent, the enterprise will be subject to the nationwide tax rate.

The U.S. Department of Commerce is expected to issue its review results no later than June 30, 2025.

To ensure the legitimate rights of enterprises, the Trade Defense Department recommends that enterprises producing/exporting related products continue to update the developments of the case; properly and fully implement the requirements of the US investigation agency, and closely coordinate with the Trade Defense Department throughout the process of the case.
