As a result of Commerce's review, for shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 04/29/2019, (the date of publication of the final results of review in the Federal Register), the required cash deposit has been revised for certain exporters as detailed below: Exporter: NTSF Seafoods Joint Stock Company Case number: A-552-801-048 Cash deposit rate: 1.37 dollars per kilogram Exporter: Vinh Quang Fisheries Corporation Case number: A-552-801-051 Cash deposit rate: 1.37 dollars per kilogram Exporter: Cuu Long Fish Joint Stock Company Case number: A-552-801-056 Cash deposit rate: 1.37 dollars per kilogram Exporter: Hung Vuong Group Case number: A-552-801-057 Cash deposit rate: 3.87 dollars per kilogram Exporter: Green Farms Seafood Joint Stock Company Case number: A-552-801-062 Cash deposit rate: 1.37 dollars per kilogram Exporter: C.P.

Accordingly, Commerce has deactivated the following exporter, or exporter/producer chain rate case numbers: A-552-801-039. Effective 04/29/2019 (the date of publication of the final results of review), entries of subject merchandise from these exporters should be entered under A-552-801-000. 3. If any entries of this merchandise are exported by a firm other than the exporters listed above then the following instructions apply: A. If the Vietnam or non-Vietnam exporter of the subject merchandise has its own rate, use the applicable exporter's rate for determining the cash deposit rate. B. For all exporters of subject merchandise that have not been assigned a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the Vietnam-wide rate of 2.39 dollars per kilogram. C. For all non-Vietnam exporters of subject merchandise that have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Vietnam exporter that supplied that non-Vietnam exporter. 4. These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice. Do not liquidate any entries of merchandise included in this administrative review until assessment instructions are issued. 5. If there are any questions by the importing public regarding this message, please contact the Call Center for the Office of AD/CVD Operations, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce at (202) 482-0984. CBP ports should submit their inquiries through authorized CBP channels only. (This message was generated by OV:JB.) 6. There are no restrictions on the release of this information. Alexander Amdur
