Updated interest rates for purpose of reconciliations, etc. CBP has posted a list of interest rates from April 1, 1998 through June 30, 2006, which it states can be used for additional duty payments. For example, when a reconciliation results in additional monies owed Customs, the payment must be made with interest.

3. Miscellaneous CBP Messages on AD and CV Duty Actions
CBP has issued messages on a number of antidumping (AD) and countervailing (CV) duty actions, many of which (marked by an * in the action column) were previously published in the Federal Register by the International Trade Administration (ITA) and summarized in International Trade Today.
(The CBP messages marked with an * cover much of the same information as the ITA notices; however, CBP's messages often list the 10-character case number specific to each listed company(s). ITA notices only list the 7-character master case number. In addition, sometimes the master case number for CBP purposes (in parentheses, below, where applicable) differs from the ITA master case number.)
