1. On 11/30/2012, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) notified the Department of Commerce (Commerce) of its final determination that critical circumstances do not exist with respect to subject imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from the People's Republic of China. On 12/07/2012, Commerce published in the Federal Register its countervailing duty order in the countervailing duty investigation of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from the People's Republic of China. See message 2346303 dated 12/11/2012.

2. Accordingly, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is directed to terminate the suspension of liquidation for all entries of subject merchandise suspended on or after 12/27/2011, and on or before 03/25/2012, and to liquidate without regard to countervailing duties (i.e., release all bonds and refund all cash deposits or other security).

3. For imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from the People's Republic of China, CBP shall continue to suspend liquidation of such shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after 03/26/2012, and on or before 07/23/2012. Commerce instructed CBP to discontinue the suspension of liquidation for countervailing duty purposes on all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 07/24/2012. See message 2206301 dated 07/24/2012. Effective 12/06/2012, CBP shall require a cash deposit equal to the subsidy rates in effect at the time of entry. See message 2346303 dated 12/11/2012.

4. The interest provisions of section 778 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, do not apply.
