4. The Department of Commerce has not received a request for an administrative review of the antidumping findings/duty order for the periods and on the merchandise listed below, except for the firms noted. Therefore, in accordance with section 351.212(c) of the Commerce Department regulations, you are to assess antidumping duties on merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption at the cash deposit or bonding rate in effect on the date of entry.

5. Entries of merchandise from Thyssenkrupp Steel AG should have been liquidated pursuant to message 9275207, dated 10/02/2009.

6. Notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of subject merchandise during the period 08/01/2006 through 07/31/2007 occurred with the publication of the notice of initiation of administrative review for the 08/2007 anniversary month (72 FR 54428, 09/25/2007). Effective 02/14/2012, Commerce revoked the antidumping duty order on corrosion resistant carbon steel products from Germany. See message 3094301 dated 04/04/2013.

7. The assessment of antidumping duties by Customs and Border Protection on shipments or 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.

8. Upon assessment of antidumping duties, CBP should require that the importer provide a reimbursement statement as described in section 351.402(f)(2) of the Commerce Department regulations. The importer should provide a reimbursement statement prior to liquidation of the entry. If the importer certifies that it has an agreement with the manufacturer, producer, seller, or exporter to be reimbursed antidumping duties, CBP should double the antidumping duties in accordance with the above-referenced regulation. Additionally, if the importer does not provide the reimbursement statement prior to liquidation, CBP should presume reimbursement and 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.
