Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (02/01/06 - 01/31/07)
The ITA intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after July 11, 2008. The ITA will instruct CBP to assess AD duties appropriate entries covered by this review if any importer-specific assessment rate calculated in the final results of this review is above de minimis. The ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate without regard to AD duties any entries for which the assessment rate is de minimis.
For the responsive companies which were not selected for individual review, the ITA has calculated an assessment rate based on the weighted average of the cash deposit rates calculated for the companies selected for individual review, excluding any which are de minimis or determined entirely on AFA.
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 that the merchandise they sold to the 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 established in the AD investigation if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. The ITA states that this will also apply to companies for which it is rescinding the review based on certifications of no shipments, because these companies certified that they made no shipments of subject merchandise during the review period for which they had knowledge of a U.S. destination. (See ITT's Online Archives or 06/02/03 news, 03060245, for BP summary of the ITA's May 2003 "automatic assessment" regulation.)
