The ITA states it will initiate administrative reviews for requests received by February 28, 2006.
If it does not receive, by February 28, 2006, a request for an administrative review of entries covered by an AD or CV duty order listed above for the identified review period, it will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess AD or CV duties on those entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of (or bond for) estimated AD or CV duties required on those entries at the time of entry, and to continue to collect the AD/CV cash deposit previously ordered.
The ITA further notes that in May 2003 it clarified its practice with respect to the collection of final AD duties on imports of merchandise (from countries other than NME countries) where intermediate firms are involved. The ITA states that the public should be aware of this clarification in determining whether to request an administrative review of merchandise subject to AD orders. (See ITT's Online Archives or 06/02/03 news, 03060245, for BP summary of ITA's notice on its automatic liquidation regulation regarding certain resellers.)
