AD Liability. As a result, entries of subject merchandise from Finland, Mexico, the Netherlands, and Sweden will be liable for the assessment of AD duties for unliquidated entries with a time of entry on or after December 27, 2004 (the date of publication for the preliminary AD duty determinations) except for entries during a "gap period," as follows:
"Gap Period" for subject merchandise entered 06/25/05 - 07/06/05. The six-month period beginning on the date the preliminary determinations were published in the Federal Register ended on June 24, 2005. As a result, the ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to terminate suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to AD duties, unliquidated entries of subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after June 25, 2005 and before July 7, 2005. Suspension of liquidation resumes on July 7, 2005, the date of the International Trade Commission's (ITC's) final AD injury determination.
AD Cash Deposit Only, Effective July 7, 2005. According to the ITA, effective July 7, 2005, CBP officers will require at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, an AD duty cash deposit at the rates (weighted-average margins) listed below:
| Liquidation Suspended | Cash Deposit Only |
|---|---|
| Manufacturer/Exporter | AD Duty Rate |
| Finland | |
| Noviant OY | 6.65% |
| All Others | 6.65% |
| Mexico | |
| Quimica Amtex, S.A. de C.V. | 12.61% |
| All Others | 12.61% |
| Netherlands | |
| Noviant B.V. | 14.88% |
| Akzo Nobel Surface Chemistry | 13.39% |
| All Others | 14.57% |
