LIQUIDATION OF THE ENTRY. IF THE IMPORTER HAS BEEN REIMBURSED
ANTIDUMPING DUTIES, BCBP SHOULD DOUBLE THE ANTIDUMPING DUTIES
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ABOVE-REFERENCED REGULATION.
ADDITIONALLY, IF THE IMPORTER FAILS TO RESPOND TO YOUR FORMAL
REQUEST (VIA CF 28 OR 29) FOR THE REIMBURSEMENT STATEMENT PRIOR
TO LIQUIDATION, BCBP SHOULD PRESUME REIMBURSEMENT AND DOUBLE THE
ANTIDUMPING DUTIES DUE.
