The ITA states that this revocation applies to all entries of subject merchandise that are produced and exported by ICDAS with a time of entry on or after April 1, 2004. The ITA states that it will order the suspension of liquidation ended for all such entries and will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to release any cash deposits or bonds.

Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (04/01/03 - 03/31/04)
The ITA states that it will issue appraisement instructions directly to CBP. The ITA further notes that for all of Habas's sales and certain of ICDAS's sales, it has calculated importer-specific assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of AD duties calculated for the examined sales to the total entered value of those sales.
Regarding all of Colakoglu's and Diler's sales, as well as certain of ICDAS's sales, the ITA notes that these companies did not report the entered value for the U.S. sales in question and accordingly, the ITA has calculated importer-specific assessment rates for the merchandise in question by aggregating the AD margins calculated for all U.S. sales to each importer and dividing this amount by the total quantity of those sales.
