No Cash Deposit Requirement, Order Revoked Effective 07/09/07
According to the ITA, this review covers the following producers/exporters of subject merchandise: Arlavan S.A.; Valles Andinos S.A.; Alimentos Naturales Vitafoods S.A.; Fruticola Olmue S.A. (Olmue); Sociedad Agroindustrial Valle Frio Ltda./Agricola Framparque; and Vital Berry Marketing S.A. (VBM).
However, the ITA is not issuing cash deposit instructions as it has revoked this AD duty order, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection is no longer suspending liquidation for entries of subject merchandise occurring on or after the revocation date of July 9, 2007. (See ITT's Online Archives or 07/24/07 news, 07072430, for BP summary of the revocation of this AD duty order.)
Effective Date of Revocation for Olmue and VBM is Now July 1, 2006
The ITA has determined in this review that the AD duty order should also be revoked with respect to subject merchandise exported by Olmue or VBM, and therefore the ITA is terminating the suspension of liquidation for subject merchandise exported by Olmue and VBM with a time of entry on or after July 1, 2006, and will instruct CBP to refund with interest any cash deposits for such entries.
Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (07/01/05 - 06/30/06)
The ITA intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after December 11, 2007.
The ITA calculated importer-specific ad valorem rates based on the estimated entered value. Where the assessment rate is above de minimis, the ITA will instruct CBP to assess duties on all entries of subject merchandise by that importer, and to liquidate without regard to AD duties any entries for which the assessment rate is de minimis.
The ITA adds that for entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by the respondent for which it 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 of 6.33% 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.)
(See ITA notice for more information, including the scope of the order, etc.
