4. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY U.S. AND CUSTOMS
BORDER PROTECTION (CBP) ON SHIPMENTS OR ENTRIES OF THIS

TARIFF ACT OF 1930. 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 OR BONDS POSTED
AS ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BEFORE THE DATE OF PUBLICATION

PAYABLE IS THE RATE IN EFFECT UNDER SECTION 6621 OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE OF 1954 FOR SUCH PERIOD.

THAT THE IMPORTER PROVIDE A REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT AS DESCRIBED

THE IMPORTER SHOULD PROVIDE THE REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT PRIOR TO
LIQUIDATION OF THE ENTRY. IF THE IMPORTER HAS BEEN REIMBURSED
ANTIDUMPING DUTIES, CBP SHOULD DOUBLE THE ANTIDUMPING DUTIES IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE ABOVE-REFERENCED REGULATION. ADDITIONALLY,
IF THE IMPORTER FAILS TO RESPOND TO YOUR FORMAL REQUEST FOR THE
REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT PRIOR TO LIQUIDATION, CBP SHOULD PRESUME
REIMBURSEMENT AND DOUBLE THE ANTIDUMPING DUTIES DUE.
