Commerce has issued preliminary results in its administrative and new shipper reviews of the antidumping duty order on frozen fish from Vietnam covering the period August 1, 2006 through July 31, 2007. Commerce preliminarily determined that QVD Food Company Ltd. and Binh An Seafood Joint Stock Co. did not sell subject merchandise at less than normal value during the period of review. The rates were set as follows:
Company --Rate
QVD* -- de minimus
Anvifish -- de minimus
Agifish -- 15.38
Binh An -- de minimum
Vietnam-wide rate (including An Xuyen) -- 63.88
*This rate is applicable to the QVD Single Entity which includes QVD, QVD DT and Thuan Hung.
Commerce preliminarily rescinded the review of Lian Heng because it did not sell subject merchandise to the U.S. during the review period.
Commerce also preliminarily determined that Binh An's new shipper sales are bona fide transactions. Therefore, Binh An has met the requirements to qualify as a new shipper during the review period.
The preliminary determinations in administrative reviews have no effect on duty deposits. Any change in duty deposits must wait until final determinations, due in December.
