1.
On 09/29/2022, Commerce issued a preliminary determination that dual-piston engines with a single, common combustion chamber, of the type designed by FNA Group, Inc., produced in and exported from China (products covered by the inquiry) are circumventing the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain vertical shaft engines between 99cc and up to 225cc, and parts thereof (small vertical engines) from the People's Republic of China (China) (A-570-124; C-570-125).
See 87 FR 59059.
2.
Specifically, Commerce preliminarily determined that products covered by the inquiry are covered by the scope of the orders because they constitute later-developed merchandise.
3.
This preliminary circumvention determination is applicable on a country-wide basis, regardless of foreign producer, exporter, or importer.
4. Suspension of Liquidation

For all entries of products covered by the inquiry not already subject to the suspension of liquidation, CBP shall suspend liquidation, of shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 04/25/2022.
CBP shall require, for such entries, a cash deposit at the applicable rates in effect on the date of entry.

Entries of products covered by subparagraphs 4a and 4b should not be liquidated until specific liquidation instructions are issued.
Any entries which are set for liquidation must be unset immediately.

In accordance with 19 CFR 351.226(l)(5), this instruction does not affect or otherwise limit CBP's independent authority to take any additional action with respect to the suspension of liquidation or related measures.
