RE: WITHDRAWAL OF PETITION IN THE DUMPING INVESTIGATION OF
GLYOXAL FROM GERMANY (A-428-601)


1. ON 02/25/1986, THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND THE U.S.
INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION RECEIVED NOTICE FROM THE
PETITIONER THAT IT WAS WITHDRAWING ITS ANTIDUMPING PETITION
CONCERNING GLYOXAL FROM THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY (SEE 51
FR 7342, DATED 03/03/1986). THE DEPARTMENT DID NOT INITIATE AN
INVESTIGATION OF GLYOXAL FROM THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY AS
PROVIDED FOR IN SECTION 732 (c) OF THE TARIFF ACT OF 1930.

2. THEREFORE, CUSTOMS IS DIRECTED TO TERMINATE THE SUSPENSION OF
LIQUIDATION FOR ALL SHIPMENTS OF GLYOXAL FROM THE FEDERAL
REPUBLIC OF GERMANY ENTERED, OR WITHDRAWN FROM WAREHOUSE, FOR
CONSUMPTION. ALL ENTRIES OF GLYOXAL FROM THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF
GERMANY THAT WERE SUSPENDED SHOULD BE LIQUIDATED WITHOUT REGARD
TO ANTIDUMPING DUTIES (I.E., RELEASE ALL BONDS AND REFUND ALL
CASH DEPOSITS).

3. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY THE U.S. BUREAU
CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION ("BCBU") 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
