Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (07/01/06 - 06/30/07)

The ITA intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after November 26, 2008. The ITA will instruct CBP to assess AD duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review if any importer-specific assessment rate calculated in the final results is above de minimis.

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 if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. This clarification will also apply to review period entries of subject merchandise produced by companies for which the ITA rescinds the review based on certifications of no shipments.
