Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (08/01/07 - 07/31/08)
The ITA intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after March 17, 2010.
The ITA has calculated importer-specific duty assessment rates on a per-unit basis. In this and future reviews, the ITA will direct CBP to assess importer-specific assessment rates based on the resulting per-unit (i.e., per-kilogram) rates by the weight in kilograms of each entry of the subject merchandise during the review period.
Vietnam-Wide Assessment Rate Applies to ESS JVC After Name Change Date
With respect to ESS JVC, the ITA will instruct CBP to asses $0.02 per kilogram on all appropriate entries up to June 17, 2008, the effective date of the name change from ESS JVC to ESS LLC. Any entries made on or after June 17, 2008, by ESS JVC will be assessed at the Vietnam-wide entity rate of $2.11 per kilogram.
With respect to ESS LLC, the ITA shall instruct CBP to assess $2.11 per kilogram on all appropriate entries made during the review period as it remains part of the Vietnam-wide entity.
