Vietnam: Corrected Notice of Court Decision Not in Harmony With Final 
Results of Administrative Review and Notice of Amended Final Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, 
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On May 24, 2018, the United States Court of International 
Trade (CIT) issued a final judgment in Vinh Hoan Corporation et al. v. 
United States, Consol. Court No. 13-00156 (Vinh Hoan). On July 31, 
2018, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) notified the public that 
the final judgment in that case is not in harmony with Commerce's final 
results of the underlying administrative review, and, as a result, it 
also amended the final results, involving the antidumping duty (AD) 
order on certain frozen fish fillets (fish fillets) from the Socialist 
Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam) covering the period of review (POR) 
August 1, 2010 through July 31, 2011. Commerce hereby amends the prior 
notice.

DATES: Applicable June 3, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On May 24, 2018, the CIT issued a final judgment in Vinh Hoan, 
sustaining Commerce's remand results for the eighth administrative 
review of the AD order on fish fillets from Vietnam covering the POR 
August 1, 2010 through July 31, 2011. On July 31, 2018, Commerce 
notified the public that the final judgment was not in harmony with the 
final results of that administrative review.\1\ As a consequence, 
Commerce also amended the final results of the eighth administrative 
review. However, in the First Timken Notice, Commerce inadvertently 
published incorrect weighted-average dumping margins for all companies 
except Vinh Hoan Corporation.\2\ As such, we have corrected these rates 
in the chart below.

Assessment Instructions
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ This rate is applicable to the Vinh Hoan Group which 
includes: Vinh Hoan Corporation and its affiliates Van Duc Food 
Export Joint Company and Van Duc Tien Giang. This rate did not 
change from the First Timken Notice.
    \4\ This company includes the trade name Anvifish Co., Ltd.
    \5\ This rate is also applicable to QVD Dong Thap Food Co., Ltd. 
(Dong Thap) and Thuan Hung Co., Ltd. (THUFICO). In the second review 
of this order, Commerce found QVD Food Company Ltd., Dong Thap and 
THUFICO to be a single entity, and, because there has been no 
evidence submitted on the record of this review that calls this 
determination into question, we continue to find these companies to 
be part of a single entity. Therefore, we assign this rate to the 
companies in the single entity. See Certain Frozen Fish Fillets from 
the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Preliminary Results of 
Antidumping Duty Administrative Review, 71 FR 53387 (September 11, 
2006).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to 
assess antidumping duties on unliquidated entries of subject 
merchandise exported by the companies mentioned above using the 
assessment rates listed above.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    Unless the applicable cash deposit rates have been superseded by 
cash deposit rates calculated in an intervening administrative review 
of the AD order on fish fillets from Vietnam, Commerce will instruct 
CBP to require a cash deposit for estimated AD duties at the rate noted 
above for each specified exporter for entries of subject merchandise 
entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after June 3, 
2018.

Notification to Interested Parties

    This notice is issued and published in accordance with sections 
516A(e), 751(a)(1), and 777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended.

    Dated: March 6, 2020.
