INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1560-1562 and 1564 (Final)]


Raw Honey From Argentina, Brazil, India, 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 an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, and 
Vietnam, provided for in subheading 0409.00.00 of the Harmonized Tariff 
Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the U.S. 
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States 
at less than fair value (``LTFV'').2 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

14, 2022).
    \3\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's 
affirmative critical circumstances determination are not likely to 
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty 
order on Argentina. The Commission finds that imports subject to 
Commerce's affirmative critical circumstances determination are 
likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective April 21, 
2021, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by the American Honey Producers Association (``AHPA''), Bruce, 
South Dakota, and the Sioux Honey Association (``SHA''), Sioux City, 
Iowa. The Commission scheduled the final phase of the investigations 
following notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that 
imports of raw honey from Argentina, Brazil, India, Ukraine, and 
Vietnam were being sold at LTFV within the meaning of section 733(b) of 
the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)).\4\ Notice of the scheduling of the final 
phase of the Commission's investigations and of a public hearing 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 
December 9, 2021 (86 FR 70144). The Commission conducted its hearing on 
April 11, 2022. All persons who requested the opportunity were 
permitted to participate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ On March 24, 2022, counsel for petitioners filed with 
Commerce and the Commission a withdrawal of their petition regarding 
imports of raw honey from Ukraine. Accordingly, the antidumping duty 
investigation concerning raw honey from Ukraine (Investigation No. 
731-TA-1563 (Final)) was terminated. 87 FR 19855 (April 6, 2022), 87 
FR 20462 (April 07, 2022).

    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec.  735(b) 
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its 
determinations in these investigations on May 27, 2022. The views of 
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5327 (May 2022),
