AN AGREEMENT WITH THE EXPORTER TO BE REIMBURSED ANTIDUMPING
DUTIES, BCBP SHOULD DOUBLE THE ANTIDUMPING DUTIES IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE ABOVE-REFERENCED REGULATION. ADDITIONALLY,
IF THE IMPORTER DOES NOT RESPOND TO YOUR FORMAL REQUEST (VIA CF
28 OR 29) FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT PRIOR TO LIQUIDATION,
BCBP SHOULD PRESUME REIMBURSEMENT AND DOUBLE THE ANTIDUMPING
DUTIES DUE.
