RE: REVOCATION OF ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER ON 64K DYNAMIC RANDOM
ACCESS MEMORY COMPONENTS FROM JAPAN (A-588-503)


1. THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE IS REVOKING THE ANTIDUMPING DUTY
ORDER ON 64K DYNAMIC RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY COMPONENTS FROM
JAPAN (A-588-503) BECAUSE IT IS NO LONGER OF ANY INTEREST TO
DOMESTIC INTERESTED PARTIES.

2. EFFECTIVE AS OF OCTOBER 22, 1993, TERMINATE SUSPENSION OF
LIQUIDATION OF 64K DYNAMIC RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY COMPONENTS
FROM JAPAN AND LIQUIDATE SUSPENDED ENTRIES WITHOUT REGARD TO
ANTIDUMPING DUTIES. FOR ENTRIES MADE ON OR BEFORE THE DATE
OF TERMINATION, LIQUIDATE AT THE RATE REQUIRED AT THE TIME
OF ENTRY.

3. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY THE CUSTOMS SERVICE
ON ENTRIES OF THIS MERCHANDISE IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS
OF SECTION 778 OF THE TARIFF ACT OF 1930. SECTION 778
REQUIRES THAT CUSTOMS PAY INTEREST ON OVERPAYMENTS, OR
ASSESS INTEREST ON UNDERPAYMENTS, OF THE REQUIRED AMOUNTS
DEPOSITED AS ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES. THE INTEREST
PROVISIONS ARE NOT APPLICABLE TO BONDS POSTED AS ESTIMATED
ANTIDUMPING DUTIES. 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. UPON ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES, CUSTOMS SHOULD
REQUIRE THAT THE IMPORTER PROVIDE A REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT

STATEMENT PRIOR TO LIQUIDATION OF THE ENTRY. IF THE
IMPORTER HAS BEEN REIMBURSED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES, CUSTOMS
SHOULD DOUBLE THE ANTIDUMPING DUTIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
ABOVE-REFERENCED REGULATION. ADDITIONALLY, IF THE IMPORTER
FAILS TO RESPOND TO YOUR FORMAL REQUEST (VIA CF 28 OR 29)
FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT PRIOR TO LIQUIDATION,
CUSTOMS SHOULD PRESUME REIMBURSEMENT AND DOUBLE THE
ANTIDUMPING DUTIES DUE.
