CV Liquidation Suspended Through April 12
The ITA has instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to suspend liquidation of all entries of subject merchandise from China with a time of entry on or after December 14, 2009, through April 12, 2010.
CV Liquidation Reinstated and No Cash/Bonding as of April 13
The ITA has also instructed CBP to discontinue the suspension of liquidation for CV duty purposes, and the collection of CV duty cash deposits or bonds, for subject merchandise with a time of entry on or after April 13, 2010.
CV Liquidation to be Re-Suspended, Cash Deposits Collected, if CV Order Issued
If the International Trade Commission issues a final affirmative injury determination, the ITA will issue a CV duty order and instruct CBP to resume the suspension of liquidation of entries of subject merchandise and to require a cash deposit on all such entries equal to the revised CV duty rates listed below.
(Note that the CV duty rate for mandatory respondent Yama Ribbons is no longer de minimis; therefore, the all-others rate is now the rate for Yama Ribbons.)
| Exporter/Manufacturer | Final CV Rate (Not in Effect) |
| Yama Ribbons and Bows Co., Ltd. | 1.56% (from 0.29%) |
| Changtai Rongshu Textile Co., Ltd. | 117.95% (from 118.68%) |
| All Others | 1.56% (from 59.49%) |
(If the ITC determines that material injury, or threat of material injury, does not exist, this proceeding will be terminated and all estimated duties deposited or securities posted as a result of the suspension of liquidation will be refunded or canceled.)
Exclusions to Scope of Investigation Added/Amended
Since issuing its preliminary determination, the ITA has also amended the list of exclusions to the scope of this investigation by adding language to exclusion (11) regarding certain affixed ribbon, and by adding a new exclusion (13), as follows (added language underlined):
