On June 8, 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) issued the final results of the administrative review of the anti-dumping duty order on raw honey imported from Vietnam for the period from June 1, 2023, to May 31, 2024. The review results indicate that the duty rates applicable to Vietnamese exporters have been adjusted compared with the preliminary results announced earlier.
According to the final results, the DOC determined dumping margins for the two mandatory respondents from Vietnam at 8,83% and 26,77%, respectively.
For the 12 other companies that qualified for separate rates during this review period, the anti-dumping duty rate was established at 17,80%, based on the simple average of the dumping margins calculated for the two mandatory respondents.
Meanwhile, companies that did not qualify for separate rate treatment remain part of the Vietnam-wide entity and continue to be subject to the 60,03% duty rate under the existing anti-dumping duty order.
Compared with the preliminary results issued on November 18, 2025, the final duty rates increased after the DOC revised its methodology for calculating dumping margins. Under the preliminary determination, the two mandatory respondents were assigned duty rates of 6,72% and 21,55%, respectively, while companies receiving separate rate treatment were subject to a 14,14% rate.
Despite the increase from the preliminary results, the final results of the current review remain significantly lower than the duty rates established in the original investigation, which ranged from 58,74% to 61,27%. They are also substantially lower than the results of the previous administrative review, under which duty rates ranged from 60,03% to 156,96%.
According to the DOC, the final results of the administrative review will serve as the basis for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to determine the amount of anti-dumping duties payable on entries of raw honey imported from Vietnam during the period from June 1, 2023, to May 31, 2024.
At the same time, the duty rates established in the final results will be used as the cash deposit rates for future imports of Vietnamese raw honey into the United States, effective from the date on which the review results are published in the Federal Register.
The DOC is expected to release the detailed calculations and analyses supporting the final results within five days from the date of issuance of the public notice, or from the date the notice is posted in cases where no separate public announcement is made.
The maintenance of anti-dumping duty rates at levels significantly lower than those imposed in previous periods is considered a positive signal for Vietnam’s honey industry, helping to create more favorable conditions for exports to the U.S. market in the coming years.
