RE: REVOCATION OF THE ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER ON SILICON
METAL FROM BRAZIL (A-351-806)


1. AS A RESULT OF A FIVE-YEAR ("SUNSET") REVIEW, THE U.S.
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE (COMMERCE) HAS REVOKED THE ANTIDUMPING
DUTY ORDER ON SILICON METAL FROM BRAZIL (A-351-806). THIS
REVOCATION WAS PUBLISHED IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER ON 12/21/2006
(71 FR 76635). THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE REVOCATION IS
02/16/2006.

2. U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION (CBP) IS DIRECTED TO
TERMINATE THE SUSPENSION OF LIQUIDATION FOR ALL SHIPMENTS OF
SILICON METAL FROM BRAZIL (A-351-806) ENTERED, OR WITHDRAWN FROM
WAREHOUSE, FOR CONSUMPTION ON OR AFTER 02/16/2006. ALL ENTRIES
OF THE SUBJECT MERCHANDISE THAT WERE SUSPENDED ON OR AFTER
02/16/2006 SHOULD BE LIQUIDATED WITHOUT REGARD TO ANTIDUMPING
DUTIES (I.E., RELEASE ALL BONDS AND REFUND ALL CASH DEPOSITS,
WITH INTEREST).

3. ENTRIES OF THE SUBJECT PRODUCT ENTERED OR WITHDRAWN FROM
WAREHOUSE PRIOR TO 02/16/2006 SHOULD NOT BE LIQUIDATED UNTIL YOU
RECEIVE SEPARATE AND SPECIFIC LIQUIDATION INSTRUCTIONS.

4. THE ASSESSMENT OF ANTIDUMPING DUTIES BY CBP ON ENTRIES OF
THIS MERCHANDISE IS SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 778 OF
THE TARIFF ACT OF 1930. 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 OF PAYMENT OF ESTIMATED ANTIDUMPING
DUTIES 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.

5. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS MATTER BY CBP
OFFICERS, THE IMPORTING PUBLIC OR INTERESTED PARTIES, PLEASE
CONTACT DAVINA HASHMI OR RON TRENTHAM AT OFFICE OF AD/CVD
ENFORCEMENT, IMPORT ADMINISTRATION, INTERNATIONAL TRADE
ADMINISTRATION, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE, AT (202) 482-0984

6. THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS ON THE RELEASE OF THIS
INFORMATION.
