RE: LIQUIDATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR RF POWER SEMI-CONDUCTORS
(SUBASSEMBLIES OF CMTS) FROM JAPAN




1. FOR ALL SHIPMENTS OF JAPANESE RF POWER SEMICONDUCTORS
MANUFACTURED BY MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATION
(A-588-405-004), WHICH WERE ENTERED DURING THE PERIOD
DECEMBER 1, 1988 THROUGH NOVEMBER 30, 1989, ASSESS DUMPING
DUTIES OF US$0.07 PER UNIT, EXCEPT THOSE IMPORTED BY GENERAL
ELECTRIC COMPANY, WHICH SHOULD BE ASSESSED DUMPING DUTIES OF
US$0.02 PER UNIT. THIS MERCHANDISE IS COVERED UNDER THE
ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER ON CELLULAR MOBILE TELEPHONES AND
SUBASSEMBLIES FROM JAPAN.

2. IN ACCORDANCE WITH C.I.E. N-15/88 DATED APRIL 21, 1988,
REPORT TO CUSTOMS SERVICE HEADQUARTERS ANY DUMPING DUTIES
DUE. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY THE CUSTOMS
SERVICE IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 778 OF THE
TARIFF ACT, WHICH REQUIRES INTEREST ON OVERPAYMENTS OR
UNDERPAYMENTS OF THE AMOUNT DEPOSITED AS ESTIMATED
ANTIDUMPING DUTIES. 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. INTEREST
SHALL BE CALULATED FROM THE DATE OF PAYMENT OF ESTIMATED
DUTIES THROUGH THE DATE OF LIQUIDATION.

3. IMMEDIATELY FORWARD TO CUSTOMS SERVICE HEADQUARTERS ANY
INFORMATION ON FILE WHICH MIGHT AFFECT THE APPRAISED VALUES
UNDER THE ANTIDUMPING PROVISIONS, WITH AN EXPLANATION OF THE
CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH IT WAS RECEIVED. IN SUCH A CASE,
SUSPEND LIQUIDATION OF THE AFFECTED ENTRIES UNTIL A DECISION
IS MADE CONCERNING THE APPLICABILITY OF THE ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION.



4. WHENEVER THE USE OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS RESULTS IN THE
ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES, REQUIRE OF THE IMPORTER,
PRIOR TO LIQUIDATION, THE REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT DESCRIBED
IN SECTION 353.26 OF THE COMMERCE DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS.
IMPORTERS WERE ADVISED OF THE REQUIREMENT WHEN THE FINAL
RESULTS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW WERE PUBLISHED IN THE
FEDERAL REGISTER. COMMERCE HAS AUTHORIZED CUSTOMS TO DOUBLE
THE ANTIDUMPING DUTIES IF THE IMPORTER FAILS TO PROVIDE THE
REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT PRIOR TO LIQUIDATION.

5. YOU MAY RELEASE APPRAISED VALUES TO THE INDIVIDUAL IMPORTER
CONCERNED OR HIS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE. YOU MAY NOT
RELEASE ANY DETAILS OF THE CALCULATIONS OF APPRAISED VALUES
WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION OF CUSTOMS SERVICE HEADQUARTERS.

6. EFFECTIVE AS OF THE DATE OF ISSUANCE OF THIS MASTER LIST, YOU
SHOULD NO LONGER SUSPEND LIQUIDATION OF ENTRIES COVERED BY
THIS MASTER LIST AND YOU SHOULD PROCEED WITH LIQUIDATION
ACCORDINGLY.

7. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS MATTER BY CUSTOMS
OFFICERS, PLEASE CONTACT THE IMPORT SPECIALIST DIVISION,
OTHER AGENCY BRANCH, BY E-MAIL USING ATTRIBUTE "HQ OAB". THE
IMPORTING PUBLIC AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD CONTACT
THE OFFICE OF COUNTERVAILING COMPLIANCE, IMPORT
