2. Paragraphs 3 and 5 of message 8234307 list the incorrect effective date of liquidation. Below is the fully corrected message.

3. Commerce received a scope ruling request from Sumitomo, Inc. (Sumitomo). Commerce issued a final scope determination on 08/17/2018 that suspension foil which Sumitomo imports is not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils from Japan (A-588-845).

4. Commerce determined that Sumitomo's suspension foil is outside the scope of the order because the product matches the physical characteristics described in the exclusion for suspension foil listed in the scope of the order. Therefore, Sumitomo's suspension foil is not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on stainless steel sheet and strip in coils from Japan.

5. For all unliquidated entries of stainless steel sheet and strip in coils not within scope that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 01/04/1999, CBP shall terminate suspension and liquidate entries of product not within scope which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption.

6. Refund any cash deposits and release any bonds relating to Sumitomo's suspension foil described above.

7. These instructions constitute notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of suspension foil entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 01/04/1999.

8. The assessment of antidumping duties by 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 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.

9. Unless instructed otherwise, for all other shipments of stainless steel sheet and strip in coils from Japan not covered by paragraph 4 above, you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties for the merchandise at the current rates.
