Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (12/01/05 - 11/30/06)
The ITA will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after June 5, 2008. The ITA adds that where the rate is above de minimis, it will issue importer-specific assessment instructions for entries of subject merchandise during the period of review.
The ITA states that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by Tata, JSW, Ispat and Essar for which they did not know their merchandise was destined for the U.S., the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate un-reviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction.
