Department) published the final results of its administrative review of

the antidumping duty order on fresh kiwifruit from New Zealand. The

review covers one exporter, the New Zealand Kiwifruit Marketing Board

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On September 3, 1996, the Department published the final results

(61 FR 46438) of its administrative review of the antidumping duty

order on fresh kiwifruit from New Zealand (57 FR 23203 (June 2, 1992))

for the POR covering June 1, 1994 through May 31, 1995. The review

covered one exporter, the NZKMB. On October 4, 1996 the Department

published the final results for the POR covering May 31, 1993 through

June 1, 1994. The Department has now amended the final results of the

1993-1994 administrative review in accordance with 19 CFR 353.28(c).

Applicable Regulations

Unless otherwise indicated, all citations to the Department's

regulations are to the current regulations, as amended by the interim

regulations published in the Federal Register on May 11, 1995 (60 FR

25130).

Scope of the Review

The product covered by the order under review is fresh kiwifruit.

Processed kiwifruit, including fruit jams, jellies, pastes, purees,

mineral waters, or juices made from or containing kiwifruit, are not

covered under the scope of the order. The subject merchandise is

currently classifiable under subheading 0810.90.20.60 of the Harmonized

Tariff Schedule (HTS). Although the HTS number is provided for

convenience and customs purposes, our written description of the scope

of this review is dispositive.

Clarification of Cash Deposit Instructions

Insofar as the final results for the more current review period,

June 1, 1994 through May 31, 1995, were published prior to the final

results in the 1993-1994 review period, the Department must amend the

[[Page 27722]]

instructions on antidumping duty cash deposits. Accordingly, the

following cash deposit information supersedes the cash deposit

instructions contained in the October 4, 1996 final results for the

review covering May 31, 1993 through June 1, 1994.

Since final results for a more current review period, June 1, 1994

through May 31, 1995, were published on September 3, 1996, the cash

deposit instructions contained in that notice will apply to all

shipments to the United States of subject merchandise entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after September 3,

1996. The dumping margins established for the June 1, 1993 through May

31, 1994 POR will have no effect on the cash deposit rate for any firm.

The margin results will apply for liquidation of shipments entered, or

withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the June 1, 1993

through May 31, 1994 POR only.

This notice is in accordance with 19 CFR 353.28.

Dated: May 13, 1997.

Jeffrey P. Bialos,

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
