Published Date: 8/13/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) determines that Bien Dong Seafood Co., Ltd. (Bien Dong) and NTSF Seafoods Joint Stock Company (NTSF), made sales of certain frozen fish fillets (fish fillets) at less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR) August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2024.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
Final per‑kg antidumping rates set
If you import certain frozen fish fillets from Vietnam, Commerce set final antidumping duty rates for the period August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024. The final weighted‑average dumping margins are: Bien Dong Seafood Co., Ltd. $1.00 per kilogram; NTSF Seafoods Joint Stock Company $0.38 per kilogram; non‑selected separate‑rate respondents (Can Tho Import Export Seafood Joint Stock Company and Nam Viet Corporation) $0.84 per kilogram; and the Vietnam‑wide rate remains $2.39 per kilogram.
CBP assessment and liquidation rules
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries of the subject merchandise from the review period. For Bien Dong and NTSF, importer‑specific assessment rates will be calculated on a per‑unit (per kilogram) basis by dividing the total dumping margins by the weight of each importer’s purchases; entries produced by Bien Dong or NTSF for which they did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States may be liquidated at the Vietnam‑wide rate if no rate exists for an intermediate company.
Cash deposit rates effective at publication
For shipments of the subject merchandise entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date (August 13, 2026), importers must make cash deposits at the rates established in these final results. Specifically: (1) companies subject to this review will use the rates in these final results; (2) previously reviewed exporters with separate rates will continue to use their published exporter‑specific rates; (3) Vietnamese exporters without a separate rate must use the Vietnam‑wide rate of $2.39 per kilogram; and (4) non‑Vietnamese exporters without their own separate rate must use the rate of the Vietnamese exporter that supplied them.
File reimbursement certificate or risk double duties
Importers of the subject merchandise must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries for the period August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024. If you do not file the required certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Review rescinded for 25 companies; Vietnam‑wide rate unchanged
Commerce rescinded, in part, this administrative review for 25 named companies and rescinded the review of the Vietnam‑wide entity; the Vietnam‑wide entity’s rate remains $2.39 per kilogram. For the company whose review was rescinded, any suspended entries entered under that exporter’s case number will be liquidated at the rate as entered; for other companies without separate rates, Commerce will instruct CBP to apply the Vietnam‑wide rate of $2.39 per kilogram to their entries.
