CBP will be informed of the final TRQ limit in March 2012, at which time CBP will issue proration and liquidation instructions to the field/trade. CBP notes that if a warehouse entry is liquidated prior to CBP's receipt of the final TRQ limit, CBP recommends that the importer file a protest to ensure proper processing of any applicable refund once the final proration is determined.
