ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEWS IN FULL IN ACCORDANCE WITH 19 CFR

2. THESE INSTRUCTIONS CONSTITUTE THE IMMEDIATE LIFTING OF

PERIOD LISTED ABOVE. UNLESS OTHERWISE INSTRUCTED, YOU SHALL
CONTINUE TO COLLECT CASH DEPOSITS OF ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES
FOR SUBSEQUENT ENTRIES OF THE SUBJECT MERCHANDISE AT THE CURRENT

3. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY THE U.S. BUREAU OF
CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION ON SHIPMENTS OR ENTRIES OF THIS
MERCHANDISE IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 778 OF THE
TARIFF ACT OF 1930. SECTION 778 REQUIRES THAT CUSTOMS PAY
INTEREST ON OVERPAYMENT AND ASSESS INTEREST ON UNDERPAYMENT OF
THE REQUIRED AMOUNT 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. UPON ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES, CUSTOMS SHOULD REQUIRE
THAT THE IMPORTER PROVIDE A REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT AS DESCRIBED
IN SECTION 351.402(f)(2) OF THE COMMERCE DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS.
THE IMPORTER SHOULD PROVIDE THE REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT PRIOR TO
LIQUIDATION OF THE ENTRY. IF THE IMPORTER CERTIFIES THAT IT HAS
AN AGREEMENT WITH THE EXPORTER TO BE REIMBURSED ANTIDUMPING
DUTIES, CUSTOMS 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,
CUSTOMS SHOULD PRESUME REIMBURSEMENT AND DOUBLE THE ANTIDUMPING
DUTIES DUE.
