CV Suspension of Liquidation, CV Cash Deposit/Bond Requirements Will Not be Resumed Unless Order Issued
CBP states that field officers are to discontinue the suspension of liquidation for CV duty purposes on all shipments of the subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after June 15, 2006, which is 120 days after the date of publication of the preliminary determination. ITA sources add that the CV cash deposit/bond requirement is similarly discontinued.
CBP states that this suspension of liquidation will not be resumed unless and until the ITA publishes a CV duty order in this case. In addition, if an order is issued, trade sources state that any reinstated CV liability will be in the form of a cash deposit only.
(According to ITA sources, entries during the period from the date suspension is discontinued to the day before the effective date of the order will not be subject to any CV duties on subject merchandise.)
In addition, CBP states that field officers are to continue to suspend liquidation for CV duty purposes on all shipments of certain lined paper products from India that have a time of entry during the period February 15, 2006 through June 14, 2006, until the conclusion of the CV duty investigation.
AD Suspension of Liquidation & AD Cash Deposit/Bond Requirements Unaffected
CBP's administrative message states that the discontinuation of the CV suspension of liquidation and cash deposit/bond requirements in this investigation do not affect the AD suspension of liquidation and cash deposit/bond requirements in the preliminary affirmative determination for the companion antidumping (AD) duty investigation on certain lined paper products from India.
