CV Suspension of Liquidation Instructions
CV suspension of liquidation continues for entries of the OTR tires from China with a time of entry of December 17, 2007 through April 14, 2008. (The ITA instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to discontinue the CV suspension of liquidation beginning April 15, 2008.)
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 During "Gap Period" Are Not Liable for CV Duties
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.
CV Cash Deposit Instructions
The ITA will instruct CBP to require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit estimated duties, cash deposits equal to the following CV duty rates for entries of subject merchandise from China with a time of entry on or after September 5, 2008:
