As explained in Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: 

Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003), the Department 

has clarified its practice with respect to 

the collection of final antidumping 

duties on imports of merchandise where 

intermediate firms are involved. The 

public should be aware of this 

clarification in determining whether to 

request an administrative review of 

merchandise subject to antidumping 

findings and orders. See also the Import 

Administration Web site at http:// 

ia.ita.doc.gov. 

Six copies of the request should be 

submitted to the Assistant Secretary for 

Import Administration, International 

Trade Administration, Room 1870, U.S. 

Department of Commerce, 14th Street

Commerce Building. Further, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.303(f)(l)(i), 

a copy of each request must be served 

on every party on the Department’s 

service list. 

The Department will publish in the 

Federal Register a notice of ‘‘Initiation 

of Administrative Review of 

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 

Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation’’ for requests received by 

the last day of May 2010. If the 

Department does not receive, by the last 

day of May 2010, a request for review 

of entries covered by an order, finding, 

or suspended investigation listed in this 

notice and for the period identified 

above, the Department will instruct CBP 

to assess antidumping or countervailing 

duties on those entries at a rate equal to 

the cash deposit of (or bond for) 

estimated antidumping or 

countervailing duties required on those 

entries at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption and to continue to collect 

the cash deposit previously ordered. 

For the first administrative review of 

any order, there will be no assessment 

of antidumping or countervailing duties 

of subject merchandise entered, or 

withdrawn from warehouse, for 

consumption during the relevant 

provisional-measures ‘‘gap’’ period, of 

the order if such a gap period is 

applicable to the POR. 

This notice is not required by statute 

but is published as a service to the 

international trading community.
