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

ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING DUTIES. THE INTEREST PROVISIONS ARE NOT

5. UPON ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES, CBP SHOULD REQUIRE
THAT THE IMPORTER PROVIDE A REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT AS DESCRIBED

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 PROVIDE THE REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT PRIOR TO
