Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (06/01/06 - 05/31/07)

The ITA intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after January 21, 2009. For assessment purposes, the ITA has calculated exporter/importer- (or customer-) specific assessment rates for merchandise subject to this review.

Where an importer- (or customer) -specific assessment rate is de minimis, the ITA will instruct CBP to assess that importer's (or customer's) entries of subject merchandise without regard to AD duties. The ITA intends to instruct CBP to liquidate entries containing subject merchandise exported by the China-wide entity at the China-wide rate of 70.71%.
