RE: SCOPE CLARIFICATION AND LIQUIDATION INSTRUCTIONS ON COTTON
YARN FROM PERU (C333-002)


1. ON MAY 1, 1995, THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE PUBLISHED A NOTICE
IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER THAT IDENTIFIED THOSE HARMONIZED
TARIFF SCHEDULE (HTS) NUMBERS THAT MOST REASONABLY CORRESPOND
TO THE SCOPE OF THE COUNTERVAILING DUTY ORDER ON CERTAIN
COTTON YARN FROM PERU (C-333-002) AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY
DEFINED BY THE TARIFF SCHEDULE OF THE UNITED STATES ITEM
NUMBERS.

2. THE AMENDED HTS SCOPE OF THE ORDER IS DEFINED AS FOLLOWS:

SUBHEADINGS 5205.1110 THROUGH 5206.4500 INCLUSIVE.

3. THEREFORE, ALL SHIPMENTS OF MERCHANDISE NOT COVERED BY THE
IDENTIFIED HTS ITEM NUMBERS ENTERED, OR WITHDRAWN FROM
WAREHOUSE, FOR CONSUMPTION ON OR AFTER JANUARY 1, 1994 SHOULD
BE LIQUIDATED WITHOUT REGARD TO COUNTERVAILING DUTIES.

4. THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 778 OF THE TARIFF ACT REQUIRE THAT
INTEREST BE PAID ON OVERPAYMENTS OR UNDERPAYMENTS OF AMOUNTS
DEPOSITED AS COUNTERVAILING DUTIES. SUCH INTEREST IS PAYABLE
AT THE RATE IN EFFECT UNDER SECTION 6621 OF THE INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE OF 1954 FOR SUCH PERIOD. THE INTEREST
PROVISIONS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO CASH OR BONDS POSTED AS
ESTIMATED COUNTERVAILING DUTIES BEFORE THE DATE OF
PUBLICATION OF THE COUNTERVAILING DUTY ORDER. THE INTEREST
SHALL BE CALCULATED AT THAT RATE FROM THE DATE OF PAYMENT OF
ESTIMATED DUTIES THROUGH THE DATE OF LIQUIDATION.

5. THE COUNTERVAILING DUTY ORDER ON COTTON YARN FROM PERU WAS
REVOKED EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 1995 (SEE EMAIL MESSAGE #5229117
DATED MARCH 17, 1995). FOR ENTRIES MADE PRIOR TO JANUARY 1,
1995, CUSTOMS SHOULD CONTINUE TO SUSPEND LIQUIDATION ON
MERCHANDISE ENTERING UNDER THE IDENTIFIED HTS ITEM NUMBERS
SINCE THIS MERCHANDISE REMAINS SUBJECT TO AN OUTSTANDING
ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW.

6. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS MATTER BY CUSTOMS
OFFICERS, PLEASE CONTACT VIA EMAIL, THROUGH THE APPROPRIATE
CHANNELS, TECHNICAL PROGRAMS, ANTIDUMPING/COUNTERVAILING DUTY
USING "HQ OAB". THE IMPORTING PUBLIC AND OTHER INTERESTED
PARTIES SHOULD CONTACT THE OFFICE OF COUNTERVAILING
COMPLIANCE, IMPORT ADMINISTRATION, INTERNATIONAL TRADE
ADMINISTRATION, DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE (202) 482-2786.

7. THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS ON THE RELEASE OF THIS INFORMATION.
