Argentina Raw Honey Faces Final Antidumping Duties From U.S.
Published Date: 6/12/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some honey exporters from Argentina sold their raw honey in the U.S. for less than fair value between June 2023 and May 2024. This means certain companies will face antidumping duties to keep things fair for American honey producers. These final results take effect on June 12, 2026, impacting importers and helping protect U.S. honey businesses.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 2 mixed.
Antidumping Duties Assigned to Argentine Exporters
If you import raw honey from Argentina, Commerce found sales at less than fair value for the period June 1, 2023 through May 31, 2024 and assigned antidumping margins. Asociaci�n De Cooperativas Argentinas (ACA) has a 21.35% dumping margin, NEXCO S.A. has a 0.00% margin, and non‑examined companies have a 21.35% review-specific rate. These final results take effect on June 12, 2026.
Cash Deposit Rates for New Honey Shipments
For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date, importers must post cash deposits based on the final margins. ACA and NEXCO's cash deposit rates will equal their final review margins (ACA 21.35%; NEXCO 0.00%), and the cash deposit rate for all other producers and exporters will remain 16.92%. These cash deposit rules remain in effect until further notice.
Importer Certificate Requirement and Penalties
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties before liquidation under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If you fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement and assess double antidumping duties and/or increase the antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Automatic Assessment Practice for Unknown U.S. Destinations
If ACA or NEXCO sold honey to an intermediary and did not know it was destined for the United States, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all‑others rate of 16.92% when the intermediate company has no rate. Commerce will issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication, and liquidation may be delayed if a timely summons is filed.
How CBP Assessment Rates Are Calculated
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) will assess antidumping duties on entries covered by this review using importer-specific ad valorem or per-unit rates based on examined sales. An importer-specific ad valorem rate below 0.5% is treated as de minimis and entries may be liquidated without antidumping duties.
