5. Notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of merchandise covered by paragraph 4, occurred with the publication of the final results of the expedited review (84 FR 32121, dated 07/05/2019).

6. The assessment of countervailing duties by CBP on 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 and assess interest on underpayments of the required amounts deposited as estimated countervailing duties. The interest provisions are not applicable to cash posted as estimated countervailing duties before the date of publication of the countervailing duty order (83 FR 347, dated 01/03/2018). Interest for entries made on or after 01/03/2018, shall be calculated from the date payment of estimated countervailing duties was 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.
