Suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements take effect as of May 15, 2024, the publication date of the notice of the initiation of this anti-circumvention inquiry (see 2405150049).
For entries from Ajinoriki, Aruni Enterprise, Habita Foods Industries, Delisauce World Foods, Suntraco Food Industries, Yeo Hiap Seng (Malaysia), Bidor Kwong Heng and Scigate Industries, suspension of liquidation and cash deposit requirements take effect even earlier for entries "prior to May 15, 2024."
Commerce is setting a certification process for MSG from Malaysia that doesn't use Chinese glutamic acid as an input and is therefore exempt from the circumvention finding and any suspension of liquidation or cash deposit requirements. For any unliquidated entries on or after May 15, 2024, that were not made using Chinese glutamic acid, importers and exporters must file certifications by April 7, 2025.
For any unliquidated entries on or after May 15, 2024, that were declared as non-AD/CVD Type 01 entries, importers should file a post-summary correction with CBP to change the entry type to an AD/CVD type, such as Type 03. Importers should report the case number A-557-992-000.
