Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (09/01/04 - 08/31/05)
The ITA states that it will issue assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 15 days after April 13, 2007.
Additionally, the ITA states that it calculated an importer-specific duty assessment rate for the subject merchandise, which trade sources note may differ significantly from the AD cash deposit rates listed above (which are weighted averages).
The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by DSM/KISCO/HSI included in these final results of review for which DSM/KISCO/HSI did not know its merchandise was destined for the U.S., the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the "all-others" rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the transaction. (See ITT's Online Archives or 06/02/03 news, 03060245, for BP summary of the ITA's May 2003 "automatic assessment" regulation.)
The ITA also states that with respect to the companies for which this review was rescinded, although they did not have any sales or exports of subject merchandise to the U.S. during the review period, their subject merchandise may have entered the U.S. during the review period under their CBP AD case number by way of intermediaries (without their knowledge). The ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the "all-others" rate in effect on the date of the entry 15 days after April 13, 2007.
