PROTECTION (CBP) 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 CBP PAY INTEREST ON OVERPAYMENTS

DEPOSITED AS ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES. THE INTEREST
PROVISIONS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO CASH OR BONDS POSTED AS
