Court Forces New Duties on Brazilian Raw Honey Imports
Published Date: 2/10/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Court of International Trade ruled against the original decision on antidumping duties for raw honey from Brazil, specifically affecting the company Supermel and other exporters. Because of this, the Department of Commerce is changing the final duty rates starting February 3, 2025. This means importers and exporters of Brazilian honey should expect new costs and rules soon.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Supermel Assigned 10.52% Dumping Rate
Commerce amended its final determination to assign Apiário Diamante Comercial Exportadora Ltda/Apiário Diamante Produção e Comercial de Mel Ltda (Supermel) an estimated weighted-average dumping margin of 10.52 percent, effective February 3, 2025.

All Other Brazilian Honey Exporters: 9.38% Rate
Commerce amended the antidumping duty order to assign an estimated weighted-average dumping margin of 9.38 percent to all other producers and exporters of subject raw honey from Brazil, effective February 3, 2025. The amended rate appears in the revised AD order published by Commerce.
Revised Cash Deposit Instructions to CBP
Commerce will issue revised cash deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection reflecting the amended dumping margins, effective February 3, 2025. These revised instructions relate to cash deposit requirements for entries of subject raw honey from Brazil.
