- Effective Date: Mar 07, 2016
- Notice of Lifting of Suspension Date: Jan 23, 2024
1.
Notice of lifting of suspension of entries covered by paragraph 5 below occurred with this message and on the message date of this instruction.
Unless instructed otherwise, for shipments of merchandise covered by the scope of the order you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties for the merchandise at the current rates.
2.
On 12/13/2023, Commerce issued a final scope ruling that the following products imported into the United States by SIGMA Corporation are not covered by the scope of the antidumping duty order on certain cold-rolled steel flat products from India (A-533-865): (1) Cover Side End Module, model number M70112-00000-002; (2) Connection Bracket Top IS 513 CRCA, model number M70112-00000-251; and (3) Connection Bracket Bottom IS 513 CRCA, model number M70112-00000-250.
3.
Specifically, Commerce determined that the products identified in paragraph 2 above that are imported into the United States by SIGMA Corporation are outside the scope of the order because an analysis under 19 CFR 351.225(k)(2) shows that the physical characteristics of the products, the expectations of the ultimate purchasers of the products; the channels of trade in which the products are sold; and the manner in which the products are advertised are inconsistent with subject merchandise.
4.
This final scope ruling is applicable only to the products identified in paragraph 2 above imported into the United States by SIGMA Corporation.
5.
For all unliquidated entries of the Cover Side End Module, model number M70112-00000-002, the Connection Bracket Top IS 513 CRCA, model number M70112-00000-251, and the Connection Bracket Bottom IS 513 CRCA, model number M70112-00000-250 imported into the United States by SIGMA Corporation that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after 03/07/2016 (the first date of suspension of liquidation in the antidumping duty proceeding), CBP should terminate suspension of liquidation and liquidate such entries without regard to antidumping duties (i.e., refund all antidumping duty cash deposits).
6.
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 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.
7.
This instruction to liquidate entries of subject merchandise covered by this message does not limit CBP's independent authority, including its authority to suspend, continue to suspend, or extend liquidation of entries addressed by this message.
Accordingly, CBP should examine all entries for which this message directs liquidation to determine whether any such entries are subject to suspension, continued suspension, or extension of liquidation pursuant to CBP's independent authority (e.g., Enforce and Protect Act proceeding under section 517 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended).
If entries of subject merchandise covered by this message are subject to suspension, continued suspension, or extension of liquidation pursuant to CBP's own authority, CBP port officials should follow CBP's internal procedures with respect to continuing any suspension, the lifting of suspension, and/or continuing any extension of liquidation for such entries.
