4. The injunction with court number 16-00045 in message number 6088307, dated 03/28/2016 (which corrected message 6078305, dated 03/18/2016) is applicable to the entries which

a) are subject to the Final Scope Ruling on DynaEnergetics U.S. Inc.'s Perforating Gun Carriers issued in the Memorandum from J. Drury to C. Marsh, regarding Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders on Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods from the People's Republic of China: Final Scope Ruling on DynaEnergetics U.S. Inc.'s Perforating Gun Carriers (February 12, 2016) (“Final Scope Ruling”);

c) were entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption prior to February 12, 2016, and
d) remained unliquidated as of 5:00 p.m. EDT on 03/14/2016.

Accordingly, until further notice continue to suspend liquidation of these entries until liquidation instructions are issued.

5. Notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of subject merchandise covered by paragraphs 2 and 3 occurred with the publication of the notice of initiation of administrative review for the 05/2017 anniversary month (82 FR 31292, 07/06/2017). Unless instructed otherwise, for all other shipments of certain oil country tubular goods from the People's Republic of China you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties for the merchandise at the current rates.

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 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.

7. 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 and/or countervailing duties, CBP shall double the antidumping duties and/or increase the antidumping duty by the amount of the countervailing 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.
