5. For all shipment of SSPC from Taiwan with an actual thickness of less than 4.75 mm, regardless of nominal thickness, that remain unliquidated on or after 09/17/2012, CBP shall terminate suspension refund any cash deposits, and liquidate those entries without regard to antidumping duties.

6. These instructions constitute notice of the lifting of suspension of all entries of SSPC from
Taiwan as described in paragraph 5 above.

7. 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.
