Assessment Instructions

The ITA states that it will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) within 15 days of November 17, 2006.

Additionally, the ITA states that it will calculate importer-specific duty assessment rates for subject merchandise, which according to trade sources, may differ significantly from the AD cash deposit rate listed above (which is a weighted average).

1 A recent law (Public Law 109-280) has suspended the option that allows importers to post bond for estimated AD or countervailing (CV) duties until the completion of a new shipper review (except for those involving goods of Canada or Mexico).
