Published Date: 9/14/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that NEXCO S.A. (NEXCO) and Villamora S.A. (Villamora), and the non-individually-examined companies for which a review was requested made sales of raw honey from at less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR), June 1, 2024, through May 31, 2025. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results of review.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Certification Requirement — Risk of Double Duties
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties under 19 CFR 351.402(f) before liquidation of relevant entries. If importers fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Preliminary Dumping Margins Set
Commerce preliminarily found that NEXCO S.A., Villamora S.A., and other Argentine producers sold raw honey at less than normal value for the period June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025. The preliminary weighted-average dumping margins are: NEXCO S.A. 1.93%, Villamora S.A. 6.80%, and companies not individually reviewed 3.48%.
Cash Deposit Rules for Future Shipments
When the final results publish, cash deposit rates for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after that publication date will be the final review rates, except any rate under 0.50 percent will be treated as zero. For exporters/manufacturers not covered by the review, the all-others cash deposit rate remains 16.92%.
How Antidumping Duties Will Be Assessed
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties based on the final results of the review. If a respondent's margin is not zero or de minimis (less than 0.50%), Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific ad valorem assessment rates using the ratio of dumping to entered value, or a per-unit rate where entered values are unavailable. In certain cases where exporters did not know goods were destined for the U.S., Commerce may liquidate entries at the all-others LTFV investigation rate when no rate exists for intermediate parties.
