1. Notice of lifting of suspension of entries covered by paragraph 5 below occurred with the publication of the negative final circumvention determination (89 FR 88970, 11/12/2024). Unless instructed otherwise, for shipments of merchandise covered by the scope of the order you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties for the merchandise at the current rates. 2. On 11/12/2024, Commerce issued a final circumvention determination that R-410B from Mexico that is completed in Mexico using Chinese-origin R-32 and R-125 and subsequently exported to and further processed in the United States into an in-scope blend, R-410A (products covered by this determination), is not circumventing the antidumping duty order on hydrofluorocarbon blends from the People's Republic of China (A-570-028). See 89 FR 88970. 3. Specifically, Commerce determined that the products covered by this determination are not circumventing the antidumping duty order because there was no evidence that R-410A was produced in the United States using R-410B from Mexico made with Chinese components. 4. This final circumvention determination is applicable on a country-wide basis, regardless of foreign producer, exporter, or importer. 5. For all unliquidated entries of the products covered by this determination, that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after 02/01/2016 (the first date of suspension of liquidation in this proceeding), CBP should terminate suspension of liquidation and liquidate such entries without regard to antidumping duties (i.e., refund all cash deposits). 6. The assessment of antidumping duties by CBP on shipments or entries of this merchandise is subject to the provisions of section 778 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Section 778 requires that CBP pay interest on overpayments or assess interest on underpayments of the required amounts deposited as estimated antidumping duties. The interest provisions are not applicable to cash posted as estimated antidumping duties before the date of publication of the antidumping duty order. Interest shall be calculated from the date payment of estimated antidumping duties is required 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. 7. This instruction to liquidate entries of subject merchandise covered by paragraph 5 does not limit CBP's independent authority, including its authority to suspend, continue to suspend, or extend liquidation of entries addressed by this message. Accordingly, CBP should examine all entries for which this message directs liquidation to determine whether any such entries are subject to suspension, continued suspension, or extension of liquidation pursuant to CBP's independent authority (e.g., Enforce and Protect Act proceeding under section 517 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended). If entries of subject merchandise covered by this message are subject to suspension, continued suspension, or extension of liquidation pursuant to CBP's own authority, CBP port officials should follow CBP's internal procedures with respect to continuing any suspension, the lifting of suspension, and/or continuing any extension of liquidation for such entries. 8. If there are any questions by the public regarding this message, please contact the Call Center for the Office of AD/CVD Operations, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce at (202) 482-0984. CBP ports should submit their inquiries through authorized CBP channels only. (This message was generated by OIX: AH.) 9. There are no restrictions on the release of this information. Alexander Amdur
