For all shipments of aluminum wire and cable from the People's Republic of China (China) exported by ICF Cable, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period 06/05/2019 through 11/30/2020, assess antidumping duties at the China-wide rate.
The China-wide rate is 52.79 percent.

If a cash deposit was collected as security for an estimated antidumping duty for any shipment of merchandise described in paragraph 1a that was entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period 06/05/2019 (the first date of suspension of liquidation) through 12/01/2019 (the last day provisional measures are in effect), assess antidumping duty liabilities equal to the amount resulting from the application of paragraph 1a or equal to the amount of the cash deposit, whichever is less.
2.
Entries for the period 12/02/2019 (first day provisional measures are no longer in effect) through 12/19/2019 (day prior to the publication of the ITC final determination), should be liquidated via message 0009405, dated 01/09/2020.
3.
Notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation for entries of subject merchandise covered by paragraph 1a occurred with the publication of the final results of administrative review (86 FR 73251, 12/27/2021).
Unless instructed otherwise, for all other shipments of aluminum wire and cable from China you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties for the merchandise at the current rates or per-unit amounts.
4.
There are no injunctions applicable to the entries covered by this instruction.
5.
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, as amended.
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.
6.
Upon assessment of antidumping duties, CBP shall require that the importer provide a reimbursement certification in accordance with 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) and as described under this paragraph:
a.
The importer must certify with CBP prior to liquidation (except as provided below) whether the importer has or has not been reimbursed or entered into any agreement or understanding for the payment or for the refunding to the importer by the manufacturer, producer, seller, or exporter for all or any part of the antidumping and/or countervailing duties, as appropriate.
Such certification should identify the commodity and country and contain the information necessary to link the certification to the relevant entry or entry line number(s).
b.
The certification may be filed either electronically or in paper in accordance with CBP's requirements, as applicable.
c.
If an importer does not provide its certification prior to liquidation, CBP may accept the certification in accordance with its protest procedures under 19 U.S.C. 1514, unless otherwise directed.
d.
Certifications are required for entries of the relevant commodity that have been imported on or after the date of publication of the antidumping notice in the Federal Register that first suspended liquidation in that proceeding.
e. Consistent with 19 CFR 351.402(f)(3), if an importer fails to file the certification, Commerce may presume that the importer was paid or reimbursed the antidumping or countervailing duties.
Therefore, if the importer does not provide the certification prior to liquidation (or as provided above), reimbursement of the duties shall be presumed.
Accordingly, if there is no certification with respect to the antidumping duty, CBP shall increase the antidumping duty by the amount of the antidumping duty.
In addition, if there is no certification with respect to any applicable countervailing duty, CBP shall increase the antidumping duty by the amount of the countervailing duty.
Further, if the importer certifies that it has an agreement with the manufacturer, producer, seller, or exporter, to be reimbursed antidumping duties, CBP shall increase the antidumping duty by the amount of the antidumping duty.
In addition, if the importer certifies that it has an agreement with the manufacturer, producer, seller, or exporter, to be reimbursed any applicable countervailing duties, CBP shall increase the antidumping duty by the amount of the countervailing duty.
