3. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY CUSTOMS AND BORDER

PROVISIONS OF SECTION 778 OF THE TARIFF ACT OF 1930. SECTION 778
REQUIRES THAT CBP PAY INTEREST ON OVERPAYMENTS AND ASSESS

APPLICABLE TO CASH OR BONDS POSTED AS ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING

ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES IS REQUIRED THROUGH THE DATE OF

4. UPON ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES, CBP 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 FOR ANTIDUMPING
DUTIES, CBP 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, CBP
SHOULD PRESUME REIMBURSEMENT AND DOUBLE THE ANTIDUMPING DUTIES
DUE.
