SECTION 778 REQUIRES THAT CBP PAY INTEREST ON OVERPAYMENTS OR

DEPOSITED AS ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES. THE INTEREST
PROVISIONS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO CASH OR BONDS POSTED AS

DUTIES, CBP SHOULD DOUBLE THE ANTIDUMPING DUTIES IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE ABOVE-REFERENCED REGULATION. ADDITIONALLY, IF THE
IMPORTER DOES NOT RESPOND TO YOUR FORMAL REQUEST FOR THE
REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT PRIOR TO LIQUIDATION, CBP SHOULD PRESUME
REIMBURSEMENT AND DOUBLE THE ANTIDUMPING DUTIES DUE.
