on entries of wind towers from
Indonesia and to release any bonds or
other security and refund cash deposits
pertaining to any suspended entries of
wind towers from Indonesia. Although
section 705(c)(2)(A) of the Act instructs
Commerce to terminate suspension of
liquidation, we note that, pursuant to
Timken, the suspension of liquidation
must continue during the pendency of
the appeals process. Thus, we will
instruct CBP at this time to: (1) Release
any bond or other security and refund
any cash deposit made pursuant to the
order as discussed above; and (2)
continue to suspend liquidation of all
unliquidated entries of wind towers
from Indonesia at a cash deposit rate of
0.00 percent which are entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after January 7,
2022, which is ten days after the court’s
decision, in accordance with section
516A of the Act.9 In the event that the
CIT’s judgment affirming the Final
Redetermination is not appealed, or is
appealed and upheld by the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit,
Commerce will instruct CBP to
terminate the suspension of liquidation
and to liquidate those entries of subject
merchandise without regard to
countervailing duties. Notwithstanding
the continued suspension pursuant to
Timken described above, the CVD order
on wind towers from Indonesia is
hereby revoked.
At this time, Commerce remains
enjoined by CIT order during the
pendency of litigation, including any
appeals, from liquidating entries of
wind towers from Indonesia that were
produced and/or exported by Kenertec
and that were entered, or withdrawn
from warehouse, during the period
December 13, 2019, through December
31, 2020, excluding entries on or after
April 11, 2020, through August 24,
2020. Pursuant to the terms of the
injunction, the enjoined entries of
subject merchandise will be liquidated
in accordance with the final court
decision in this action, including all
