RE: LIQUIDATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR STAINLESS STEEL PLATES IN

1. THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE ("COMMERCE") DOES NOT
AUTOMATICALLY CONDUCT ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEWS OF ANTIDUMPING DUTY
ORDERS. INSTEAD, REVIEWS MUST BE REQUESTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
SECTION 351.213 OF COMMERCE'S REGULATIONS.

2. COMMERCE HAS NOT RECEIVED A REQUEST FOR AN ADMINISTRATIVE
REVIEW OF THE ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER FOR THE PERIOD LISTED
BELOW. THEREFORE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 351.212(c) OF
COMMERCE'S REGULATIONS, YOU ARE TO ASSESS ANTIDUMPING DUTIES ON
MERCHANDISE ENTERED, OR WITHDRAWN FROM WAREHOUSE, FOR
CONSUMPTION AT THE CASH DEPOSIT OR BONDING RATE IN EFFECT ON THE
DATE OF ENTRY.

PERIOD
STAINLESS STEEL PLATE IN COILS
FROM ITALY (A-475-822) (05/01/2003 - 04/30/2004)

LIQUIDATE ALL ENTRIES FOR ALL FIRMS.

3. THESE INSTRUCTIONS CONSTITUTE THE IMMEDIATE LIFTING OF
SUSPENSION OF LIQUIDATION OF ENTRIES FOR THE MERCHANDISE AND
PERIOD LISTED ABOVE. YOU SHALL CONTINUE TO COLLECT CASH DEPOSITS
OF ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES FOR SUBSEQUENT ENTRIES OF THE
SUBJECT MERCHANDISE
AT THE CURRENT RATES.


4. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY CUSTOMS AND BORDER
PROTECTION ("CBP") ON SHIPMENTS OR ENTRIES OF THIS MERCHANDISE
IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 778 OF THE TARIFF ACT OF
1930, AS AMENDED. SECTION 778 REQUIRES THAT CBP 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 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.

5. UPON ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES, CBP SHOULD REQUIRE
THAT THE IMPORTER PROVIDE A REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT AS DESCRIBED
IN SECTION 351.402(f)(2) OF THE COMMERCE DEPARTMENT REGULATIONS.
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.

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