Gap Period of No AD Suspension of Liq or AD Duties for June 11-22
For this investigation, the six-month provisional measures period for which the AD suspension of liquidation may remain in effect before the order is issued began on December 15, 2011 (the publication date of the preliminary determination) and ended on June 11.
As the publication date of the International Trade Commission's final affirmative injury determination is June 22, the ITA is instructing CBP to terminate the AD suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without regard to AD duties, unliquidated entries of subject merchandise from China with a time of entry after June 11, and through June 21 (the gap period).
(For entries with a time of entry on or after December 15, 2011 through June 11, 2012, suspension of liquidation and AD duty liability remains in effect.)
AD Suspension of Liq Instructions
Suspension of liquidation resumes for all entries of subject merchandise from China with a time of entry on or after June 22, the date of publication of the final ITC affirmative injury determination.
AD Cash Deposit Instructions
An AD cash deposit requirement is also in effect for subject merchandise from China with a time of entry on or after June 22.
The ITA will instruct CBP to require, at the same time as importers deposit estimated duties, a cash deposit equal to the AD duty rates listed below for all entries of subject merchandise from China with a time of entry on or after June 22, 2012, as follows:
| Exporter | AD Cash Deposit |
