RE: LIQUIDATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR BRASS SHEET AND STRIP
MANUFACTURED BY WOLVERINE TUBE, LTD./CANADA



1. FOR ALL SHIPMENTS OF BRASS SHEET AND STRIP FROM CANADA
MANUFACTURED BY WOLVERINE TUBE (CANADA) LTD. (A-122-601-004),
WHICH WERE ENTERED DURING THE PERIOD JANUARY 1, 1990 THROUGH
DECEMBER 31, 1990, ANTIDUMPING DUTIES SHOULD BE ASSESSED AT
THE RATE OF 21.32 PERCENT AD VALOREM.

2. IN ACCORDANCE WITH C.I.E. N-15/88 DATED APRIL 21, 1988,
REPORT TO CUSTOMS SERVICE HEADQUARTERS ANY DUMPING DUTIES
DUE.

THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY THE CUSTOMS SERVICE
IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISION OF SECTION 778 OF THE TARIFF ACT,
WHICH REQUIRES INTEREST ON OVERPAYMENTS OR UNDERPAYMENTS OF
THE AMOUNTS DEPOSITED AS ESTIMATED DUMPING DUTIES. THE RATE
AT WHICH SUCH INTEREST IS PAYABLE IS THE RATE IN EFFECT UNDER
SECTION 6621 OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1954 FOR SUCH
PERIOD. INTEREST SHALL BE CALCULATED FROM THE DATE OF PAYMENT
OF ESTIMATED DUTIES THROUGH THE DATE OF LIQUIDATION.

3. IMMEDIATELY FORWARD TO CUSTOMS SERVICE HEADQUARTERS ANY
INFORMATION ON FILE WHICH MIGHT AFFECT THE APPRAISED VALUES
UNDER THE ANTIDUMPING PROVISIONS, WITH AN EXPLANTION OF THE
CIRCUMSTANCES UNDER WHICH IT WAS RECEIVED. IN SUCH A CASE,
SUSPEND LIQUIDATION OF AFFECTED ENTRIES UNTIL A DECISION IS
MADE CONCERNING THE APPLICABILITY OF THE ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION.


4. WHENEVER THE USE OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS RESULTS IN THE
ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES, REQUIRE OF THE IMPORTER,
PRIOR TO LIQUIDATION, THE REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT DESCRIBED
IN SECTION 353.26 OF THE COMMERCE DEPARTMENT REQULATIONS.
IMPORTERS WERE ADVISED OF THE REQUIREMENT WHEN THE FINAL
RESULTS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW WERE PUBLISHED IN THE
FEDERAL REGISTER. COMMERCE HAS AUTHORIZED CUSTOMS TO DOUBLE
THE ANTIDUMPING DUTIES IF THE IMPORTER FAILS TO PROVIDE THE
REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT PRIOR TO LIQUIDATION.

5. YOU MAY RELEASE APPRAISED VALUES TO THE INDIVIDUAL IMPORTER
CONCERNED OR HIS AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE. YOU MAY NOT
RELEASE ANY DETAILS OF THE CALCULATIONS OF APPRAISED VALUES
WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION OF CUSTOMS SERVICE HEADQUARTERS.

6. EFFECTIVE AS OF THE DATE OF ISSUANCE OF THIS MASTER LIST, YOU
SHOULD NO LONGER SUSPEND LIQUIDATION OF ENTRIES COVERED BY
THIS MASTER LIST AND YOU SHOULD PROCEED WITH LIQUIDATION
ACCORDINGLY.

7. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS MATTER BY CUSTOMS
OFFICERS, PLEASE CONTACT THE IMPORT SPECIALIST DIVISION,
OTHER AGENCY BRANCH, OR BY E-MAIL TO ATTRIBUTE "HQ OAB". THE
IMPORTING PUBLIC AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD CONTACT
THE OFFICE OF COUNTERVAILING COMPLIANCE, IMPORT
ADMINISTRATION, INTERNATIONAL TRADE ADMINISTRATION,
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE (202)377-2786.
