PRESS RELEASE
The U.S. DOC has issued its preliminary determination in the 12th administrative review of the antidumping case on Vietnamese fish fillets, levying a punitive duty rate of $2.39/kg. on all Vietnamese fish exporters that shipped during POR 13.
The DOC’s decision is based on a misreading of the facts and a departure from long-standing policy and practice in these antidumping reviews in calculating duty rates for mandatory and separate rates respondents.
The mandatory respondent, GODACO Seafood JS Co., fully cooperated in the review and supplied all data and information requested by the DOC in a timely manner. The data was complete and accurate and reported in accordance with its
The DOC then further took the unprecedented decision to apply this duty rate to all other Vietnamese exporters, so called “separate rate” companies, who also fully cooperated during the review period and provided all necessary information in an accurate and timely manner. The $2.39/kg rate bears no relation to the commercial reality of the
Notably, a Preliminary Determination by the DOC has no legal force and effect and these results will not be applied to future US sales or entries after publication of the results. The DOC permits all parties to file comments, legal briefs and attend hearings in order to determine the correct antidumping duty rate in the final determination. VASEP firmly believes the Vietnamese fish exporters will prevail on the merits of their case and reverse this punitive determination at the final determination.
VASEP and the relevant trade remedy bureaus of the Vietnamese Government are studying all options in addressing this unfair result and its legality under U.S. law. Further, there will be a comprehensive review of its impact on bi-lateral relations.
