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 April 1, 2008, 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.

(According to ITA sources, entries during the period from the date the suspension is discontinued to the day before the effective date of the order (if one is issued) 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 laminated woven sacks from China that have a time of entry during the period December 3, 2007 through March 31, 2008, 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 duty investigation on laminated woven sacks from China.

(See CBP's administrative message for more information, including the scope of the investigation. See ITT's Online Archives or 12/04/07 news, 07120425, for BP summary of the preliminary affirmative CV determination for laminated woven sacks fro China.)
