The importer numbers for the firms listed above were reported to Commerce. It is provided for
convenience to assist CBP in the identification of the importer or customer identified above. A
direct correlation between the importer name and number is not necessary for the application of
these liquidation instructions.

2. As a result of Commerce's clarification of its assessment regulation on 05/06/2003 (68 FR 23954), for all shipments of solid urea from the Russian Federation produced by MCC EuroChem, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period 07/01/2011 through 06/30/2012, entered under case number A-462-101-001, and not covered by paragraph 1, assess antidumping duties at the all-others rate in effect on the date of entry. The all-others rate for solid urea from the Russian Federation is 64.93 percent.

3. Notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of subject merchandise covered by paragraphs 1 and 2 occurred with the publication of the final results of administrative review (78 FR 67335, 11/12/2013). Unless instructed otherwise, for all other shipments of solid urea from the Russian Federation you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties at the current rates.

4. There are no injunctions applicable to the entries covered by this instruction.

5. The assessment of antidumping duties by CBP on shipments or entries of this merchandise is subject to the provisions of section 778 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Section 778 requires that CBP pay interest on overpayments or assess interest on underpayments of the required amounts deposited as estimated antidumping duties. The interest provisions are not applicable to cash or bonds posted as estimated antidumping duties before the date of publication of the antidumping duty order. Interest shall be calculated from the date payment of estimated antidumping duties is required through the date of liquidation. 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.

6. Upon assessment of antidumping duties, CBP shall require that the importer provide a reimbursement statement, as described in section 351.402(f)(2) of Commerce's regulations. The importer should provide the reimbursement statement prior to liquidation of the entry. If the importer certifies that it has an agreement with the producer, seller, or exporter, to be reimbursed antidumping duties, CBP shall double the antidumping duties in accordance with the above-referenced regulation. 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.
