Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (08/04/04 - 01/31/06)

The ITA states that it intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after September 12, 2007.

The ITA has calculated importer-specific per-unit duty assessment rates for entries of subject merchandise by Aquatica and Compescal. For the separate rate respondents, it has calculated an assessment rate based on the weighted average of the cash deposit rates.

The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by companies included in these final results of review for which the reviewed companies did not know their merchandise was destined for the U.S., the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the "all-others" rate established in the AD investigation if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
