SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On August 31, 2011, the Department published in the Federal 
Register the preliminary results of the new shipper review of the 
antidumping duty order on honey from Argentina. See Preliminary 
Results. We invited parties to comment on the Preliminary Results. We

Period of Review

    The POR is December 1, 2009 through November 30, 2010.

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by the order is honey from Argentina. The 
products covered are natural honey, artificial honey containing more

creamed, comb, cut comb, or chunk form, and whether packaged for retail 
or in bulk form. The merchandise is currently classifiable under 
subheadings 0409.00.00, 1702.90.90, and 2106.90.99 of the Harmonized 
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). Although the HTSUS 
subheadings are provided for convenience and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) purposes, the Department's written description of the 
merchandise under the order is dispositive.

Final Results of Review

    We determine that the following dumping margin exists for the 
period December 1, 2009, through November 30, 2010:

Assessment Rates

    The Department shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping 
duties on all appropriate entries, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(b). The Department intends to issue appropriate assessment 
instructions directly to CBP 15 days after publication of these final 
results of review. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1), we are 
calculating importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rates for the 
merchandise subject to this review.
    The Department clarified its automatic assessment regulation on May 
6, 2003. See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 
Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003). This 
clarification will apply to entries of subject merchandise during the 
POR produced by the company included in these final results of review 
for which the reviewed company did not know their merchandise was 
destined for the United States. In such instances, we will instruct CBP 
to liquidate un-reviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no 
rate for the intermediate company involved in the transaction.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the final results of this new shipper review for all 
shipments of the subject merchandise by Enzo Juan Garaventa or 
Villamora entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or 
after the publication date of these final results, consistent with 
section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For subject merchandise 
manufactured by Enzo Juan Garaventa and exported by either Villamora or 
Enzo Juan Garaventa, or manufactured by Villamora and exported by 
either Enzo Juan Garaventa or Villamora, the cash deposit rate will be 
zero; (2) for subject merchandise exported by Villamora but not 
manufactured by Enzo Juan Garaventa or Villamora, or for subject 
merchandise exported by Enzo Juan Garaventa, but not manufactured by 
Villamora or Enzo Juan Garaventa, the cash deposit will continue to be 
the all-others rate (i.e., 30.24 percent); and (4) for subject 
merchandise manufactured by Villamora or Enzo Juan Garaventa, but 
exported by any party other than Villamora or Enzo Juan Garaventa, the 
cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter. These 
deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until 
further notice.

Notifications to Interested Parties

    This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their 
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate 
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation 
of the relevant entries during this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Secretary's presumption that 
reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent 
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
    This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to 
administrative protective orders (APO) of their responsibility 
concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information 
disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 
continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of 
the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return/destruction 
of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby 
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO 
is a violation, which is subject to sanction.
    We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with 
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

    Dated: November 22, 2011.
Paul Piquado,
Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
