6. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY CBP ON SHIPMENTS OR ENTRIES OF THIS MERCHANDISE IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 778 OF THE TARIFF ACT OF 1930. SECTION 778 REQUIRES THAT CBP PAY INTEREST ON OVERPAYMENTS, OR ASSESS INTEREST ON UNDERPAYMENTS, OF THE REQUIRED AMOUNTS DEPOSITED AS ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES. THE INTEREST PROVISIONS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO CASH OR BONDS POSTED AS ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BEFORE THE DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER. INTEREST SHALL BE
CALCULATED FROM THE DATE PAYMENT OF ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES IS REQUIRED THROUGH THE DATE OF LIQUIDATION. THE RATE AT WHICH SUCH INTEREST IS PAYABLE IS THE RATE IN EFFECT UNDER SECTION 6621 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1954 FOR SUCH PERIOD.

ADDITIONALLY, IF THE IMPORTER DOES NOT PROVIDE THE REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT PRIOR TO LIQUIDATION, CBP SHOULD PRESUME REIMBURSEMENT AND DOUBLE THE ANTIDUMPING DUTIES DUE.
