Vinh Hoan Removed From Antidumping Order
Starting August 1, 2021, merchandise produced and exported by Vinh Hoan Corporation is excluded from the U.S. antidumping duty order on certain frozen fish fillets. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will liquidate entries of Vinh Hoan-produced fillets entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after August 1, 2021 without regard to antidumping duties, and CBP will stop collecting cash deposits and suspendments of liquidation for those entries. The revocation names five related companies in the collapsed Vinh Hoan entity: Vinh Hoan Corporation; Van Duc Food Export JSC; Van Duc Tien Giang Food Export Co.; Thanh Binh Dong Thap One Member Co. Ltd.; and Vinh Phuoc Food Co. Ltd.
Administrative Reviews for Vinh Hoan Discontinued
Because Vinh Hoan was revoked from the antidumping order effective August 1, 2021, Commerce does not intend to continue administrative reviews with respect to Vinh Hoan for periods after August 1, 2021. Commerce specifically notes it will not further conduct the administrative reviews covering August 1, 2022 through July 1, 2023 and August 1, 2023 through July 1, 2024 for Vinh Hoan as exporter and producer.
