ADDITIONALLY, IF THE IMPORTER DOES NOT PROVIDE THE REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT PRIOR TO LIQUIDATION, REIMBURSEMENT SHALL BE PRESUMED AND CBP SHALL DOUBLE THE ANTIDUMPING DUTIES DUE. IF AN IMPORTER TIMELY FILES A PROTEST CHALLENGING THE PRESUMPTION OF REIMBURSEMENT AND DOUBLING OF DUTIES, CONSISTENT WITH CBP'S PROTEST PROCESS, CBP MAY ACCEPT THE REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT FILED WITH THE PROTEST TO REBUT THE PRESUMPTION OF REIMBURSEMENT.
