RE: TUBELESS STEEL DISC WHEELS FROM BRAZIL
(A-351-606)


1. The Department of Commerce published in the Federal Register
of April 5, 1991 (56 FR 14083) the final results of its
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on
tubeless steel disc wheels from Brazil. The review covers the
period May 1, 1988 through April 30, 1989 and the
manufacturer\exporter Borlem, S.A. Empreedimentos Industriais
(Borlem).

2. Imports covered by the review are shipments of tubeless steel
disc sheels from Brazil, designed to be mounted with
pneumatic tires which have a rim diameter of 22.5 inches or
greater, suitable for use on class 6, 7, and 8 trucks,
including tractors, and for use on semi-trailers and buses.

Through 1988, such merchandise was classifiable under item
number 692.3230 of the Tariff Schedules of the United States
Annotated. This merchandise is currently classifiable under
item number 8716.90.50 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.

3. The dumping margin for Borlem (A-351-606-001) was found to be
zero for the period May 1, 1988 through April 30, 1989.

4. Accordingly, all shipments of this merchandise entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, from May 1, 1988 through April 30,
1989 for Borlem (A-351-606-001), are free of dumping
liability. You may appraise these shipments and liquidate
the applicable entries by stamping each invoice with the
wording "No Dumping Duties Due".

5. The provisions of section 778 of the Tariff Act require that
interest be paid on overpayments or underpayments of amounts
deposited as estimated countervailing duties. Such interest
is payable at the rate in effect under section 6621 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1954 for such period. The interest
shall be calculated at that rate from the date of payment of
estimated duties through the date of liquidation.

6. Effective as of the date of issuance of these instructions,
you should no longer suspend liquidation of entries covered
by this period (May 1, 1988 through April 30, 1989) for
Borlem and you should proceed with liquidation accordingly.

7. Customs officers shall waive cash deposits of estimated
antidumping duties in accordance with our previous
instructions issued in E-Mail 1109113 of April 19, 1991
(i.e., no cash deposit will be required for Borlem S.A.
(A-351-606-001), do not liquidate). This deposit waiver will
remain in effect until publication of the final results of
the next administrative review of the antidumping duty order
on this merchandise.
