Notice of the lifting of suspension occurred on the message date of these instructions. See paragraph 4 below.

1. On 01/26/2015 Commerce issued liquidation instructions for aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China produced and/or exported by various companies for the period 01/01/2012 through 12/31/2012, message number 5026307. In paragraph 3a. of that message, Commerce stated that on 05/19/2014, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(e), Commerce initiated a formal scope inquiry to determine whether heat sinks parts for high-energy LED lamps that are imported by Streamlight, Inc. (“Streamlight”) are outside the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China. Commerce instructed CBP, until further notice, to continue to suspend any suspended entries of Streamlight's imports of heat sinks parts for high-energy LED lamps until liquidation instructions were issued. (See paragraph 3a.)

2. On 05/14/2015, Commerce issued a final scope determination stating that Streamlight's heat sinks parts for high-energy LED lamps, which Streamlight imports, are within the scope of the countervailing duty order on aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China (C-570-968). See message 5142301, dated 05/22/2015.

3. For all previously suspended entries of heat sinks parts for high-energy LED lamps (aluminum extrusions) from the People's Republic of China imported by Streamlight and entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period 01/01/2012 through 12/31/2012, liquidate in accordance with the appropriate producer and/or exporter-specific liquidation rates contained in message 5026307, as appropriate.

4. These instructions constitute the notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation for entries of subject merchandise covered by paragraph 3. Unless instructed otherwise, for all other shipments of aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China, you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties for the merchandise at the current cash deposit rates.

5. The assessment of countervailing 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 countervailing duties. The interest provisions are not applicable to cash or bonds posted as estimated countervailing duties before the date of publication of the countervailing duty order. Interest shall be calculated from the date payment of estimated countervailing 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.
