Provisional Measures
Section 703(d) of the Act states that

affirmative preliminary determination
may not remain in effect for more than
four months. In the underlying
investigations, Commerce published the
Preliminary Determinations on

will instruct CBP to terminate the
suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to
countervailing duties, unliquidated
entries of fine denier PSF from China
and India entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption, after
March 5, 2018, the date the provisional

the ITC’s final injury determination in
the Federal Register. Suspension of
liquidation will resume on the date of
publication of the ITC’s final
determination in the Federal Register.
