Critical Circumstances
With regard to the ITC’s negative
critical circumstances determination on
imports of steel wire rod from the PRC,
we will instruct CBP to lift suspension
and refund any cash deposits made to
secure the payment of estimated
antidumping duties with respect to
entries of subject merchandise entered
or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after June 10, 2014
(i.e., 90 days prior to the date of
publication of the Preliminary
Determination), but before September 8,
2014, (i.e., the date of the publication of
the Preliminary Determination).
Notification to Interested Parties
tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
