AD Liquidation and Refund Instructions

The ITA will also instruct CBP to refund any cash deposits made and release any bonds posted from November 3, 2009 through April 29, 2010.

AD Suspension of Liquidation Reinstated April 30

Suspension of liquidation is reinstated for all entries of PRCBs from Vietnam with a time of entry on or after April 30, 2010.
