No Cash Deposit for Reviewed Company (Order Has Been Revoked)
According to the ITA, this review covers one manufacturer/exporter of the subject merchandise, Ascometal S.A. However, no cash deposit is required for this company as the ITA revoked this AD duty order and has previously notified U.S. Customs and Border Protection to discontinue collection of cash deposits of AD duties on entries of the subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after March 7, 2007, the effective date of revocation of this AD duty order.
(See ITT's Online Archives or 02/08/08 news, 08020835, for BP summary of the revocation of this AD duty order.)
Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (03/01/06 - 02/28/07)
The ITA intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after June 6, 2008. With respect to Ascometal, the ITA calculated importer-specific duty assessment rates for the subject merchandise.
The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by Ascometal for which it did not know its merchandise 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.)
