CV Suspension of Liquidation Instructions

The ITA will direct CBP to reinstitute the CV suspension of liquidation for entries of OTR tires from China with a time of entry on or after September 5, 2008 (the date of publication of the ITC's final injury determination).

Entries of OTR tires from China with a time of entry during the "gap period," April 15, 2008 through September 4, 2008, are not liable for the assessment of CV duties.
