RE: LIQUIDATION OF FRESH CUT FLOWERS FROM CANADA
(A-122-604)



1. SINCE THE DEPARTMENT RECEIVED NO OBJECTIONS TO THE REVOCATION
OF THIS ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER BY AN INTERESTED PARTY, AND NO
REVIEW WAS REQUESTED FOR FOUR CONSECUTIVE REVIEW PERIODS, THE
DEPARTMENT CONCLUDED THAT THE ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER ON FRESH CUT
FLOWERS FROM CANADA WAS NO LONGER OF INTEREST TO INTERESTED
PARTIES AND REVOKED THIS ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER AND PUBLISHED
THE REVOCATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER (58 FR 33616) ON 06/18/93.
THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF REVOCATION WAS 03/01/1993.

2. THE DEPARTMENT ASSUMES THAT THE U.S. BUREAU OF CUSTOMS AND
BORDER PROTECTION ("BCBP") (CUSTOMS) TERMINATED THE SUSPENSION OF
LIQUIDATION FOR ALL SHIPMENTS OF FRESH CUT FLOWERS FROM CANADA
(A-
122-604) ENTERED, OR WITHDRAWN FROM WAREHOUSE, FOR CONSUMPTION ON
OR AFTER 03/01/1993 AND LIQUIDATED ALL ENTRIES OF THE SUBJECT
PRODUCT THAT WERE SUSPENDED ON OR AFTER 03/01/1993 WITHOUT REGARD
TO ANTIDUMPING DUTIES (I.E., RELEASE ALL BONDS AND REFUND ALL
CASH DEPOSITS). IF, HOWEVER, ENTRIES REMAIN OF FRESH CUT FLOWERS
FROM CANADA SUSPENDED ON OR AFTER 03/01/1993, BCBP IS DIRECTED TO
LIQUIDATE THOSE ENTRIES WITHOUT REGARD TO ANTIDUMPING DUTIES.

3. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY BCBP ON ENTRIES OF
THIS MERCHANDISE IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 778 OF
THE TARIFF ACT 1930. SECTION 778 REQUIRES THAT BCBP PAYS INTEREST
ON OVERPAYMENTS AND 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 OF PAYMENT OF ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES 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.

4. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS MATTER BY BCBP
OFFICERS, PLEASE CONTACT VIA E-MAIL, THROUGH THE APPROPRIATE
SUPERVISORY CHANNELS, OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY LIAISON, USING THE
ATTRIBUTE "HQ OAB." IMPORTING PUBLIC AND INTERESTED PARTIES
SHOULD CONTACT RON TRENTHAM AT "RON__TRENTHAM AT ITA.DOC.GOV" OR
AT AD/CVD ENFORCEMENT, IMPORT ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF
COMMERCE AT (202) 482-4195.

5. THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS ON THE RELEASE OF THIS INFORMATION.
