Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (08/01/05 - 07/31/06)
The ITA intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after November 16, 2007. The ITA calculated importer/customer-specific duty assessment rates or per-unit dollar amounts, as appropriate, for each respondent's reported importer or customer.
Where the assessment rate or amount is above de minimis, the ITA will instruct CBP to assess duties on all entries of subject merchandise by that importer or customer. For the separate rate respondents, the ITA calculated an assessment rate based on weighted average of the weighted-average margins. The ITA will instruct CBP to apply that rate (0.95%) to all entries of subject merchandise during the review period that were produced and/or exported by the separate rate respondents.
The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by companies included in these final results of review for which the reviewed companies did not know the merchandise they sold to an intermediary (e.g., a reseller, trading company, or exporter) 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 intermediate company(ies) 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.)
