SUBJECT: TERMINATION/CANCELLATION OF ALL TEN-DIGIT
ANTIDUMPING/COUNTERVAILING DUTY (AD/CVD) CASE
NUMBERS ENDING IN "999"
IN A MEMORANDUM DATED OCTOBER 6, 2000, THE FIELD WAS INSTRUCTED TO
USE THE 10-DIGIT AD/CVD CASE NUMBERS ENDING IN "999" ON ENTRIES
WHICH CBP DID NOT HAVE THE NAME OF THE COMPANY INVOLVED IN THE
ANTIDUMPIG OR RECEIVING A COUNTERVAILING SUBSIDY. THE SUBJECT
OF THE MEMORANDUM WAS: (1) INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPORTING "UNKNOWN"
COMPANIES IN AD/CVD CASES AND (2) INSTRUCTIONS FOR TERMINATION
OF SUSPENSION OF LIQUIDATION IN AD/CVD CASES.
THE CASE NUMBERS ENDING IN "999" WERE ONLY TO BE USED IF THE NAME
OF THE COMPANY COULD NOT BE DETERMINED EVEN AFTER THE INVOICE AND
OTHER DOCUMENTATION HAD BEEN REVIEWED AND THE IMPORTER HAD BEEN
CONTACTED.
THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE (DOC) NEVER FULLY IMPLEMENTED THIS POLICY.
AS A RESULT, THE AD/CVD TEAM REQUESTED THESE SUFFIXES BE "TURNED OFF."
THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE HAS COMPLIED WITH OUR REQUEST BY PUTTING
A DATE IN THE FIELD THAT INDICATES THE END OF THE LIQUIDATION
SUSPENSION ACTION. THIS ENSURES ENTRIES FILED UNDER THE "999" SUFFIXES
WILL NOT ENCOUNTER PROCESSING ERRORS WITHIN ACS. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY,
AD/CVD CASE NUMBERS ENDING IN "999" SHOULD NO LONGER BE USED.
QUESTIONS CONCERNING THIS NOTICE SHOULD BE REFERRED TO JUANA KUNDAK
OR CHRISTINE FURGASON OF THE COMMERCIAL ENFORCEMENT BRANCH AT (202)
344-3009 AND (202) 344-2293 RESPECTIVELY, OR VIA EMAIL.
