3. THESE INSTRUCTIONS CONSTITUTE THE IMMEDIATE LIFTING OF
SUSPENSION OF LIQUIDATION OF ENTRIES FOR THE MERCHANDISE AND
PERIOD LISTED ABOVE. YOU SHALL CONTINUE TO COLLECT CASH
DEPOSITS OF ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES FOR SUBSEQUENT ENTRIES
OF THE SUBJECT MERCHANDISE AT THE CURRENT RATES.

4. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY THE CUSTOMS AND
BORDER 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 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.

5. UPON ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES, CBP SHOULD REQUIRE
THAT THE IMPORTER PROVIDE A REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT 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, 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.

6. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS MATTER BY CBP
OFFICERS, THE IMPORTING PUBLIC OR INTERESTED PARTIES PLEASE
