Notice of the lifting of suspension occurred on the message date of these instructions. See paragraph 5 below.

1. Commerce received a scope ruling request from ACCO Brands USA LLC (ACCO). Commerce issued a final scope determination on 10/4/2018 that ACCO's butterfly clips (specifically product codes A70726108B, A7072610, A7072620B, A7072620, and A7072643) which ACCO imports are not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on certain paper clips from the People's Republic of China (China) (A-570-826).

2. Commerce determined that ACCO's butterfly clips are outside the scope of the order because the scope of the order excludes all butterfly clips. Therefore, ACCO's butterfly clips are not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on paper clips from China.

3. For all entries of paper clips not within scope that remain unliquidated on or after 5/18/1994, CBP shall terminate suspension and liquidate entries of product not within scope which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption.

4. Refund any cash deposits and release any bonds relating to the butterfly clips described above.

5. These instructions constitute notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of butterfly clips (product codes A70726108B, A7072610, A7072620B, A7072620, and A7072643) entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 5/8/1994.

6. 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.

7. Unless instructed otherwise, for all other shipments of paper clips from China not covered by paragraph 2 above, you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties for the merchandise at the current rates.
