All others(c)

The ITA notes that Lensi is the successor-in-interest to IAPC Italia S.r.l.

The ITA has previously stated that Corticella and Combattenti are both producers of subject merchandise and are owned by the same holding company, Euricom S.p.A.

(a) The ITA has determined that a final CV duty rate of zero exists; suspension of liquidation will continue, but no CV cash deposit will be required.

(b) The ITA has determined that a final de minimis CV duty rate of 0.06% exists; suspension of liquidation will continue, but no CV cash deposit will be required.

(c) For all other companies that were not reviewed (except Barilla G.e R.F.lli S.p.A and Gruppo Agricoltura Sana S.r.L, which are excluded from the CV duty order), the ITA will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to collect CV duty cash deposits of estimated CV duties at the most recent company-specific or all-others rate applicable to the company. These rates shall apply to all non-reviewed companies until a review of a company assigned these rates is requested.

Assessment Instructions for the Review Period (01/01/03 - 12/31/03)

Because the CV duty rates for all of the above-noted companies are zero or de minimis, the ITA will instruct CBP to liquidate entries during the period of January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2003 without regard to CV duties. The ITA states that it will issue appropriate assessment instructions directly to CBP within 15 days of June 28, 2005.

For all other companies that were not reviewed (except Barilla G.e R.F.lli S.p.A. and Gruppo Agricoltura Sana S.r.L, which are excluded from the CV duty order), the ITA has directed CBP to assess CV duties on all entries between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2003 at the rates in effect at the time of entry.

(See ITA notice for more information, including the scope of the order, scope rulings, etc. See ITT's Online Archives or 04/28/05 news, 05042835, for BP summary of the preliminary results of this CV duty administrative review.)
