Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (08/24/05 - 02/28/07)
The ITA intends to issue assessment instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 15 days after August 11, 2008. The ITA has calculated importer-specific ad valorem or importer-specific per-unit duty assessment rates for subject merchandise. The ITA will instruct CBP 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 companies included in these final results of review for which the reviewed companies did not know their 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.
This clarification will also apply to entries of subject merchandise during the review period produced by companies for which the ITA is rescinding the review based on certifications of no shipments, because these companies certified that they made no shipments of subject merchandise during the review period for which they had knowledge of U.S. destination. (See ITT's Online Archives or 06/02/03 news, 03060245, for BP summary of the ITA's May 2003 "automatic assessment" regulation.)
