(The ITA also issued an order for the companion antidumping duty determination. See ITT's Online Archives 13021411 for summary of the AD duty order.)

Gap Period of No CV Suspension of Liq or CV Duties for Oct. 3 -- Feb. 13

For this investigation, the four-month provisional measures period for which the CV suspension of liquidation may remain in effect before the order is issued began on June 5, 2012 (the publication date of the preliminary determination) and ended Oct. 3, 2012, the date the ITA instructed CBP to terminate suspension of liquidation.

Because the publication date of the International Trade Commission's final affirmative injury determination is Feb. 14, the ITA said all entries of subject merchandise between Oct. 3, 2012 and Feb. 13, 2013 (the gap period) are not liable for CV duty assessment.

(For entries on or after June 6 through Oct. 2, suspension of liquidation and CV duty liability remains in effect.)

CV Suspension of Liq Instructions

Suspension of liquidation resumes for all entries of subject merchandise from Korea with a time of entry beginning Feb. 14, the publication date of the final ITC affirmative injury determination.

CV Cash Deposit Instructions

A CV cash deposit requirement is also in effect for subject merchandise from Korea with a time of entry beginning Feb. 14.

The ITA will instruct CBP to require, at the same time as importers deposit estimated duties, a cash deposit equal to the CV duty rates listed below for all entries of subject merchandise from Korea with a time of entry beginning Feb. 14, as follows:

CompanyCV Rate
Daewoo Electronics Corporation72.3%
Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.1.85%
All Others1.85%
