3. On 02/06/1997, the Department published in the Federal Register (62 FR 5612) a notice of panel decision reducing the margin for all producers from 23.79 percent to 21.70 percent. In addition, on 04/21/1997, the Department published in the Federal Register (62 FR 19309) the termination of the first review dated 06/28/1995 through 07/31/1996. Therefore, for all shipments of oil country tubular goods from Mexico produced by all producers, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period 06/28/1995 through 07/31/1996, assess an antidumping liability of 21.70 percent of the entered value.

4. Message 2228205 dated 08/16/2002, constitutes the notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries for the merchandise and period listed above. For all other shipments of oil country tubular goods from Mexico you shall, unless otherwise instructed, continue to collect cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties for the merchandise at the current rates.

5. 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 and 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 payment of estimated antidumping duties is required 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.

6. Upon assessment of antidumping duties, Customs 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, Customs should double the antidumping duties in accordance with the above-referenced regulation. Additionally, if the importer does not 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.
