Refund of AD cash deposit for solar cells, whether or not assembled into modules from the PRC pursuant to the amended final determination for period 10/17/2012 through 12/06/2012 (A-570-979)

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 2361304 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (trade policy), published on December 26, 2012. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Refund of AD cash deposit for solar cells, whether or not assembled into modules from the PRC pursuant to the amended final determination for period 10/17/2012 through 12/06/2012 (A-570-979)". It links to 1 AD/CVD case in Tandom's catalog. CSMS messages are the operational layer between Commerce determinations and at-the-border collections: when Commerce publishes a new rate, scope ruling, or instruction, CBP turns it into a CSMS that ACE/ACS systems and brokers act on.

1. On 12/07/2012 (77 FR 73018), Commerce published in the Federal Register its amended final determination in the antidumping duty investigation of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules from the People's Republic of China (“PRC”). 2. Title 19 U.S.C. 1520(a)(4) authorizes refunds prior to liquidation whenever an importer of record declares or it is ascertained that excess duties, fees, charges, or exactions have been deposited or paid. In accordance with 19 U.S.C. 1520(a)(4), CBP is authorized to grant a refund of cash deposits, for entries of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules from the PRC from the entities listed below, which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period 10/17/2012 through 12/06/2012, if requested by the importer, based on the difference between the weighted average margins calculated at the Final Determination and the Amended Final Determination. 3. The refund amount will be calculated by determining the difference between the weighted average margins calculated at the Final Determination (see 77 FR 63791, dated 10/17/12) and the Amended Final Determination (See, and 77 FR 73018, dated 12/7/12), as listed below. Please note that because provisional measures in the companion countervailing duty proceeding were not in effect at the time of publication of the antidumping final determination, the cash deposit rate Commerce instructed CBP to collect on relevant entries was not offset by relevant countervailing duties.
