4. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY THE CUSTOMS AND
BORDER PROTECTION SERVICE ON SHIPMENTS OR ENTRIES OF THIS
MERCHANDISE IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 778 OF THE
TARIFF ACT OF 1930. SECTION 778 REQUIRES THAT CUSTOMS AND

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 CERTIFIES THAT IT HAS
AN AGREEMENT WITH THE EXPORTER TO BE REIMBURSED ANTIDUMPING
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.
