REVOCATION OF THIS FINDING BY AN INTERESTED PARTY, AND NO REVIEW
WAS REQUESTED FOR FIVE CONSECUTIVE REVIEW PERIODS, THE DEPARTMENT
CONCLUDED THAT THE FINDING ON TUNERS FROM JAPAN WAS NO LONGER OF
INTEREST TO INTERESTED PARTIES AND REVOKED THIS ANTIDUMPING DUTY
FINDING AND PUBLISHED THE REVOCATION IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER (59

ALL ENTRIES OF THE SUBJECT PRODUCT THAT WERE SUSPENDED ON OR
AFTER 12/01/1993 WITHOUT REGARD TO ANTIDUMPING DUTIES (I.E.,
RELEASE ALL BONDS AND REFUND ALL CASH DEPOSITS). IF, HOWEVER,
ENTRIES REMAIN OF SUBJECT MERCHANDISE SUSPENDED ON OR AFTER

3. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY BUREAU OF CUSTOMS
