AD Liquidation, Cash Deposits Refunded Prior to Final ITC Determination

Because the International Trade Commission's final injury determination is based on the threat of material injury and is not accompanied by findings that injury would have resulted, but for the imposition of suspension of liquidation of entries since the preliminary determination, U.S. Customs and Border Protection is required to release any bond or other security, and refund any cash deposit of estimated AD duties posted from the ITA's preliminary determination until the publication of the ITC's final determination of threat of material injury.

Therefore, with the exception of subject merchandise exported by Dear Year or Shienq Huong (which have AD duty rates of zero) and certain listed producers1, the ITA will instruct CBP to terminate the AD suspension of liquidation for entries of narrow woven ribbons from Taiwan with a time of entry prior to September 1, 2010 (the date of publication of the ITC’s final injury determination), and refund any AD cash deposits made and release any bonds posted between the publication of the ITA’s preliminary determination on February 18, 2010 and August 31, 2010.

AD Suspension of Liquidation for Sept 1 and After

The AD suspension of liquidation will bein effect for all entries of subject merchandise from Taiwan with a time of entry on or after September 1, 2010.

AD Cash Deposit Requirements

The ITA will also instruct CBP to require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties on this merchandise, AD cash deposits on entries of subject merchandise from Taiwan (except merchandise exported by Dear Year or Shienq Huong and certain listed producers1) with a time of entry on or after September 1, 2010 at the AD duty rates below2:
