INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1560-1564 (Preliminary)]


Raw Honey From Argentina, Brazil, India, Ukraine, and Vietnam

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of raw honey 
from Argentina, Brazil, India, Ukraine, and Vietnam, provided for in 
subheading 0409.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States, that are alleged to be sold in the United States at less than 
fair value (``LTFV'').\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
    \2\ 86 FR 26897, May 18, 2021.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Commencement of Final Phase Investigations

    Pursuant to section 207.18 of the Commission's rules, the 
Commission also gives notice of the commencement of the final phase of 
its investigations. The Commission will issue a final phase notice of 
scheduling, which will be published in the Federal Register as provided 
in section 207.21 of the Commission's rules, upon notice from the U.S. 
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') of affirmative preliminary 
determinations in the investigations under Sec.  733(b) of the Act, or, 
if the preliminary determinations are negative, upon notice of 
affirmative final determinations in those investigations under Sec.  
735(a) of the Act. Parties that filed entries of appearance in the 
preliminary phase of the investigations need not enter a separate 
appearance for the final phase of the investigations. Industrial users, 
and, if the merchandise under investigation is sold at the retail 
level, representative consumer organizations have the right to appear 
as parties in Commission antidumping investigations. The Secretary will 
prepare a public service list containing the names and addresses of all 
persons, or their representatives, who are parties to the 
investigations.

Background

    On April 21, 2021, American Honey Producers Association, Bruce, 
South Dakota, and the Sioux Honey Association, Sioux City, Iowa filed 
petitions with the Commission and Commerce, alleging that an industry 
in the United States is materially injured by reason of LTFV imports of 
raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, Ukraine, and Vietnam. 
Accordingly, effective April 21, 2021, the Commission instituted 
antidumping duty investigation Nos. 731-TA-1560-1564 (Preliminary).
    Notice of the institution of the Commission's investigations and of 
a public conference to be held in connection therewith was given by 
posting copies of the notice in the Office of the Secretary, U.S. 
International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and by publishing the 
notice in the Federal Register of April 27, 2021 (86 FR 22265). In 
light of the restrictions on access to the Commission building due to 
the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission conducted its conference through 
written testimony and video conference. All persons who requested the 
opportunity were permitted to participate.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec.  733(a) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(a)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these investigations on June 7, 2021. The views of 
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5204 (June 2021), 
entitled Raw Honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, Ukraine, and Vietnam: 
Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1560-1564 (Preliminary).

    By order of the Commission.
