SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Department of Commerce (the Department) received a timely 
request from C & A Products Co., Ltd. (C&A), in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.214(c), for a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on 
canned pineapple fruit (CPF) from Thailand. See Notice of Antidumping 
Duty Order and Amended Final Determination: Canned Pineapple Fruit from 
Thailand, 60 FR 36775 (July 18, 1995). C&A identified itself as the 
producer and exporter of subject merchandise.
    As required by 19 CFR 351.214(b)(2)(i),(ii), and (iii)(A), C&A 
certified it did not export CPF to the United States during the period 
of investigation (POI), and that it has never been affiliated with any 
exporter or producer that exported CPF during or after the POI. It also 
submitted documentation establishing the date on which C&A first 
shipped the subject merchandise to the United States, the volume of 
that first and any subsequent shipments, and the date of C&A's first 
sale to an unaffiliated customer in the United States. C&A states it 
cannot report the first entry date because the sale was to an 
unaffiliated customer.

    In accordance with section 751(a)(2)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 
as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.214(d)(1), and based on

C&A. See Memorandum to the File through Barbara E. Tillman, Director, 
AD/CVD Operations Office 6, Import Administration from the Team, ``New
