RE: REVOCATION AND LIQUIDATION OF ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER ON

TO TERMINATE THE SUSPENSION OF LIQUIDATION FOR ALL SHIPMENTS OF

WAREHOUSE FOR CONSUMPTION, ON OR AFTER 07/25/2006. ALL ENTRIES OF
THE SUBJECT MERCHANDISE THAT WERE SUSPENDED ON OR AFTER

WITH INTEREST).

4. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY CBP ON ENTRIES
OF THIS MERCHANDISE IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF

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.
