Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (02/01/04 - 01/31/05)
The ITA will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) on or after the 41st day after publication of these final results of AD duty administrative review (i.e., September 18, 2006).
Additionally, the ITA states it calculated importer-specific duty assessment rates for subject merchandise, which trade sources note may differ significantly from the AD cash deposit rates listed above (which are weighted averages).
The ITA adds that in certain situations where the reviewed company did not know their merchandise was destined for the U.S., the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate such unreviewed entries at the "all others" rate if there is no rate for the intermediate (reseller) company(ies) involved in the transaction.
