For all subject CV duty orders, CBP is directed to terminate the suspension of liquidation for all shipments of DRAMS with a time of entry on or after August 11, 2008. All entries of the subject product that were suspended on or after August 11, 2008 should be liquidated without regard to CV duties (i.e., release all bonds and refund all cash deposits).
Entries of the subject product with a time of entry prior to August 11, 2008 should not be liquidated until separate and specific liquidation instructions are issued.
