Vietnam honey duties prelim: some sellers off the hook
Published Date: 9/14/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Vietnamese honey sellers sold their honey for less than fair value from June 2024 to May 2025. They’re stopping the review for 17 companies but continuing with others, which could affect import duties and prices. This decision kicks in starting September 14, 2026, and folks involved can still share their thoughts.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 5 costs, 0 mixed.
Preliminary Dumping Margins Set
Commerce preliminarily found dumping for raw honey sold from Vietnam for the period June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025 and assigned preliminary weighted-average dumping margins of 30.21% for Ban Me Thuot Honeybee JSC and 39.61% for Daklak Honeybee JSC. Commerce also assigned a simple-average separate rate of 34.91% to the listed non‑examined separate‑rate companies.
Vietnam‑Wide Rate Remains at 60.03%
Commerce stated that the Vietnam-wide entity rate of 60.03% remains unchanged and will apply to exporters that do not qualify for a separate rate; entries exported by such companies during the period June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025 would be subject to that ad valorem rate if the entity remains part of the Vietnam-wide entity in the final results.
Cash Deposit Rules for Final Results
Commerce said cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the final publication date: exporters with separate rates will have deposits equal to their final rates, exporters lacking separate rates will have the Vietnam-wide deposit of 60.03%, and previously established exporter-specific rates remain in effect for others.
Importer Reimbursement Certificate Requirement
Importers are reminded they must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries during this review period; failure to file may lead Commerce to presume reimbursement occurred and could result in assessment of double antidumping duties.
Rescission for 17 Companies; CBP Instructions
Commerce rescinded the review in part for 17 named Vietnamese companies listed in Appendix II because there were no suspended entries during June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025; for those companies Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties at the cash deposit rate in effect at time of entry, and Commerce intends to issue rescission instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication of this notice.
