Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Co May Sale Found Not Bona Fide
Commerce and the U.S. Court of International Trade found that Co May Import-Export Company's single sale during August 1, 2022 through January 31, 2023 was not bona fide, and Commerce has rescinded the 2022–2023 new shipper review for Co May. This amended finding is effective January 18, 2026.
Vietnam-Wide Cash Deposit Rate Applies
Because the new shipper review for Co May was rescinded, Commerce will apply the Vietnam-wide cash deposit rate of $2.39 per kilogram to entries from Co May. Commerce will issue revised cash deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, effective January 18, 2026.
Suspended Entries May Face Duty Assessment
Entries exported by Co May and entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption during August 1, 2022 through January 31, 2023 remain enjoined from liquidation while appeals proceed. If the court decision is not appealed or is upheld on appeal, Commerce intends to instruct Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on those unliquidated entries at the Vietnam-wide rate of $2.39 per kilogram.
