Summary
The U.S. checked honey from India sold between late 2021 and mid-2023 and found it was priced unfairly low. Because of this, some extra duties (taxes) will apply to certain Indian honey sellers. Also, 14 companies that didn’t sell any honey during this time are off the hook for this review.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Antidumping Duties on Indian Honey
The Department of Commerce found that sales of raw honey from India were made at less than normal value during the period of review from November 23, 2021 through May 31, 2023. Because of that finding, additional antidumping duties will apply to certain Indian honey exporters or their shipments of subject merchandise.
Review Rescinded for 14 Firms
Commerce rescinded the administrative review for 14 Indian companies that had no entries of the subject raw honey during the period of review, November 23, 2021 through May 31, 2023. Those 14 companies are therefore not subject to this particular review's determinations.
