CV Liquidation Resumed and No Cash Deposits/Bonds as of July 7

For this investigation, the four month period for which the CV suspension of liquidation may remain in effect before the order is issued began on March 9, 2010 (the publication date of the preliminary determination) and ended on July 6, 2010.

Therefore, the ITA has instructed CBP to discontinue the CV suspension of liquidation for CV duty purposes, and the collection of estimated CV duty cash deposits or bonds, for all entries of subject merchandise from Indonesia with a time of entry on or after July 7, 2010. The CBP instructions are available here.

(Suspension of liquidation continues for entries made during the period March 9 through July 6, 2010.)

CV Liquidation to be Re-Suspended, Cash Deposits Collected, If CV Order Issued

If the International Trade Commission issues a final affirmative injury determination, the ITA will issue a CV duty order and instruct CBP to suspend liquidation of entries of subject merchandise from Indonesia and to require a cash deposit on all such entries equal to the revised estimated CV duty rates listed below.
