Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (08/01/07 - 07/31/08)
The ITA intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after December 11, 2009. The ITA has imported importer/customer-specific duty assessment rates for TPBG.
Because it is relying on total adverse facts available to establish the AD margin for Master Packaging, the ITA will instruct CBP to apply an AD margin of 122.88% to all entries of subject merchandise produced and/or exported by Master Packaging.
The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by TPBG for which it did not know that the merchandise it sold to an 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 if there is no rate for the intermediary(ies) 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, changes since the preliminary results, etc.
See ITT's Online Archives or 08/12/09 news, 09081240, for BP summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
