SUBJECT: ABI PROCEDURE FOR ADCVD CASES THAT HAVE A DEPOSIT RATE THAT
CAN EITHER BE AN ADVALOREM RATE OR A SPECIFIC RATE FOR THE
SAME TIME PERIOD (E.G, C580851000).
ADMINSTRATIVE MESSAGE 02-1632 ADVISED THE TRADE ON HOW TO FILE ADCVD
SUMMARIES THAT HAD A SPECIFIC RATE AS A DEPOSIT RATE FOR AN ADCVD CASE.
THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE HAS ESTABLISHED A CVD CASE (C580851000)
WHERE THE DEPOSIT RATE CAN EITHER BE AN ADVALOREM RATE OR A SPECIFIC
RATE FOR THE SAME TIME PERIOD. THE PROPER DEPOSIT RATE TO BE USED
DEPENDS ON THE ACTUAL CIRCUMSTANCE RELATED TO THAT CASE.
THE SAME SYSTEM PROCEDURES INDICATED IN ADMIN MESSAGE 02-1632 REGARDING
SPECIFIC DEPOSIT RATES WILL ALSO APPLY WHEN COMMERCE HAS INDICATED THAT
A DEPOSIT RATE CAN EITHER BE AN ADVALOREM RATE OR A SPECIFIC RATE FOR
THE SAME TIME PERIOD.
WHEN THE DEPOSIT RATE CAN EITHER BE AN ADVALOREM RATE OR A SPECIFIC RATE
FOR THE SAME TIME PERIOD (E.G, C580851000), THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
WILL ENTER SPACES IN THE DEPOSIT RATE FIELD FOR THAT CASE. BY ENTERING
SPACES IN THE DEPOSIT RATE FIELD, THE TRADE WILL BE ABLE TO ENTER THE
ANTIDUMPING OR COUNTERVAILING DUTY AMOUNT THAT IS OWED. THE ACS SYSTEM
WILL NOT ALLOW THE FILER TO ENTER DATA IN THE DEPOSIT RATE FIELD IN THE
ABOVE SITUATION. EVEN THOUGH THE ADCVD DUTY AMOUNT MAY BE BASED ON AN
ADVALOREM CALCULATION, THE FILER SHOULD NOT ENTER THE DEPOSIT RATE THAT
WAS USED IN THE DEPOSIT RATE FIELD (60 RECORD). THE ABI SYSTEM WILL
REJECT ANY DEPOSIT RATE ENTERED IN THE 60 RECORD WHEN THE CASE HAS
SPACES INDICATED IN THE DEPOSIT RATE FIELD FOR THAT CASE.
A WARNING MESSAGE "'AAX' RATE ACCEPTED DUTY NOT CALCULATED" WILL BE
RETURNED TO THE FILER TO INDICATE THAT CUSTOMS HAS ACCEPTED THE
ADCVD LINE ITEM. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE FILER TO VERIFY THAT
THE ENTERED ADCVD DUTY AMOUNTS PROPERLY REFLECT THE ADCVD DEPOSIT RATE
CALCULATIONS THAT ARE ISSUED FOR THE CASE AND TIME PERIOD.
