As a result, the ITA is terminating suspension of liquidation for any of the subject merchandise that is produced and exported by Viraj with a time of entry on or after February 1, 2004. The ITA adds that it will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to refund any AD cash deposits for such entries.
