Re: Correction of message 2325407: Automatic liquidation instruction for Standard Steel Wire Mesh from Mexico for the period 12/03/2020 through 12/31/2021 (C-122-858) 1. This is a correction to message 2325407, dated 11/21/2022, to correct the header in that message. 2. The header of message 2325407, contains incorrect information about the period of review. The period of review was listed as 02/03/2020 through 12/31/2021. The correct date should have been 12/03/2020 through 12/31/2021. The fully corrected period of review date is now listed the header for this message. 3. Commerce does not automatically conduct administrative reviews of countervailing duty orders. Instead, reviews must be requested pursuant to section 751(a)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended, and in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213. 4. Commerce has not received a request for an administrative review of the countervailing duty order for the period and on the merchandise identified below. Therefore, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c), you are to assess countervailing duties on merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption at the cash deposit rate in effect on the date of entry. Liquidate all entries for all firms. Product: Standard Steel Welded Wire Mesh Country: Mexico Case number: C-201-854 Period: 12/03/2020 through to 12/31/2021 5. Entries for the period 04/02/2021 (first day provisional measures are no longer in effect) through 04/08/2021 (day prior to the publication of the ITC final determination), should be liquidated via message 1103413, dated 04/13/2021. 6. Commerce is currently conducting a scope inquiry on whether 6X6 W1.4/W1.4 or D1.4/D1.4 (i.e., 10 gauge), 8 by 131 foot rolls of wire mesh produced in and imported from Mexico are covered by the scope of the countervailing duty order on standard steel welded wire mesh from Mexico. In message 2313402, dated 11/03/2022, Commerce instructed CBP to continue to suspend entries of merchandise covered by the inquiry that are already subject to suspension of liquidation under the countervailing duty order. Entries of products covered by that message should not be liquidated until specific liquidation instructions are issued. 7. There are no injunctions applicable to the entries covered by this instruction. 8. Notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of subject merchandise covered by paragraph 4 occurred with the publication of the notice of initiation of administrative review for the 08/2022 anniversary month (87 FR 61278, 10/11/2022).* Unless instructed otherwise, for all other shipments of standard steel wire mesh from Mexico you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties for the merchandise at the current rates. * The notice initially providing parties the opportunity to request an administrative review of this order published in April 2022 (see 87 FR 19075); however, in this notice, Commerce incorrectly listed the period of review for the administrative review. Therefore, Commerce corrected the period of review in the August opportunity notice and provided parties with another opportunity to request an administrative review (see 87 FR 47187). 9. The assessment of countervailing duties by CBP on shipments or entries of this merchandise is subject to the provisions of section 778 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Section 778 requires that CBP pay interest on overpayments or assess interest on underpayments of the required amounts deposited as estimated countervailing duties. The interest provisions are not applicable to cash posted as estimated countervailing duties before the date of publication of the countervailing duty order. Interest shall be calculated from the date payment of estimated countervailing duties is required through the date of liquidation. The rate at which such interest is payable is the rate in effect under section 6621 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 for such period. 10. This instruction to liquidate entries covered by this message does not limit CBP's independent authority, including its authority to suspend, continue to suspend, or extend liquidation of entries addressed by this message. Accordingly, CBP should examine all entries for which this message directs liquidation to determine whether any such entries are subject to suspension, continued suspension, or extension of liquidation pursuant to CBP's independent authority (e.g., Enforce and Protect Act under section 517 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended). If entries of subject merchandise covered by this message are subject to suspension, continued suspension, or extension of liquidation pursuant to CBP's own authority, CBP port officials should follow CBP's internal procedures with respect to continuing any suspension, the lifting of suspension, and/or continuing any extension of liquidation for such entries. 11. If there are any questions by the importing public regarding this message, please contact the Call Center for the Office of AD/CVD Operations, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce at (202) 482-0984. CBP ports should submit their inquiries through authorized CBP channels only. (This message was generated by OII: SM.) 12. There are no restrictions on the release of this information. Alexander Amdur
