as amended (the Act), 19 CFR 351.216, and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(3), to
confirm that HA Food is the successor-in-interest to Highland Agro for

Final Results of CCR
For the reasons stated in the Preliminary Results, Commerce
continues to find that HA Food is the successor-in-interest to Highland
Agro. As a result of this determination, and consistent with our
established practice, we find that HA Food should receive the AD cash
deposit rate previously assigned to Highland Agro. Because there are no
changes from the Preliminary Results, there is no decision memorandum
accompanying this notice and the Preliminary Results are hereby adopted
as the final results of this CCR.
Consequently, Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border
Protection to suspend liquidation of all shipments of subject
merchandise produced and/or exported by HA Food and entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication
date of this notice in the Federal Register at 3.88 percent, which is
the current AD cash deposit rate for Highland Agro.\6\ This cash
deposit requirement shall remain in effect until further notice.
