2. CBP Rescinds Message on Carbon Steel Flatware Products from Korea
CBP has issued an ABI administrative message which rescinds a previously issued message (Adm: 06-0288, dated 02/28/06) regarding corrosion-resistant carbon steel flatware products from Korea. CBP states that the International Trade Administration (ITA) has advised it that Adm: 06-0288 was not intended for public disclosure at this time and filers are notified to disregard the information contained in that message. (Adm: 06-0312, dated 03/07/06, available at http://www.brokerpower.com/cgi-bin/adminsearch/admmsg.view.pl?article=2006/2006-0312.ADM.)
3. Miscellaneous CBP Messages on AD and CV Duty Actions
CBP has issued messages on a number of antidumping (AD) and countervailing (CV) duty actions, many of which (marked by an * in the action column) were previously published in the Federal Register by the International Trade Administration (ITA) and summarized in International Trade Today.
(The CBP messages marked with an * cover much of the same information as the ITA notices; however, CBP's messages often list the 10-character case number specific to each listed company(s). ITA notices only list the 7-character master case number. In addition, sometimes the master case number for CBP purposes (in parentheses, below, where applicable) differs from the ITA master case number.)
The administrative messages listed above are availablefrom http://www.brokerpower.net/admin_messages/ (and can be searched by message number, country, product, etc.).
