Assessment Instructions

The ITA will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after June 21, 2010. For SeAH, it will calculate importer-specific ad valorem duty assessment rates. For the companies which were not selected for individual review, the ITA will use SeAH's cash deposit rate as the assessment rate.

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 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.)
