RE: REVOCATION OF ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER AND LIQUIDATION
INSTRUCTIONS ON SEBACIC ACID FROM CHINA (A-570-825)


1. THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE HAS REVOKED THE ANTIDUMPING DUTY
ORDER ON SEBACIC ACID FROM THE PRC AND PUBLISHED THE REVOCATION
IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER ON 06/02/2005. THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE
REVOCATION IS 05/26/2004.

2. THEREFORE, CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION (CBP) IS DIRECTED TO
TERMINATE THE SUSPENSION OF LIQUIDATION FOR ALL SHIPMENTS OF
SEBACIC ACID ENTERED, OR WITHDRAWN FROM WAREHOUSE, FOR
CONSUMPTION ON OR AFTER 05/26/2004. ALL ENTRIES OF THE SUBJECT
PRODUCT THAT WERE SUSPENDED ON OR AFTER 05/26/2004 SHOULD BE
LIQUIDATED WITHOUT REGARD TO ANTIDUMPING DUTIES (I.E., RELEASE
ALL BONDS AND REFUND ALL CASH DEPOSITS).

3. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY CUSTOMS AND BORDER
PROTECTION ON ENTRIES OF THIS MERCHANDISE IS SUBJECT TO THE
PROVISIONS OF SECTION 778 OF THE TARIFF ACT OF 1930. SECTION 778
REQUIRES THAT CBP PAYS 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.

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