Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (02/01/07 - 01/31/08)
The ITA intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after September 16, 2009. For Pakfood and Rubicon Group, the ITA has calculated importer- or customer-specific duty assessment rates for subject merchandise.
For the companies that were not selected for individual review, the ITA has calculated an assessment rate based on the simple average of the cash deposit rates calculated for the companies selected for individual review.
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 that the merchandise they sold to the intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) 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 intermediary involved in the transaction. (See ITT's Online Archives or 06/02/03 news, 03060245, for BP summary of the ITA's May 2003 "automatic assessment" regulation.)
(See ITA notice for more information, including the scope of the order, the rescission of the review for Euro-Asian International Seafoods Co., Ltd., etc.
See ITT's Online Archives or 03/13/09 news, 09031335, for BP summary of the preliminary results of this AD duty administrative review.)
