Notice of preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of monosodium glutamate from the People's Republic of China (A-570-992) and critical circumstances.

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 4129301 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (trade policy), published on May 9, 2014. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Notice of preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of monosodium glutamate from the People's Republic of China (A-570-992) and critical circumstances.". 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.

Message body

Full text as published by U.S. Customs and Border Protection

1. On 05/08/2014, Commerce published in the Federal Register (79 FR 26408) its affirmative preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value and critical circumstances, and the postponement of the final determination in the antidumping duty investigation of monosodium glutamate from the People's Republic of China (“PRC”). 2. The products covered by this investigation are described in message 3308301, dated 11/04/2013. 3. This investigation has been assigned investigation number A-570-992. 4. Because Commerce determined that critical circumstances exist for imports of monosodium glutamate from the PRC, CBP shall suspend liquidation of all appropriate entries of monosodium glutamate from the PRC that are entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 02/07/2014, which is 90 days before the date of publication of the preliminary determination in the Federal Register. Effective 02/07/2014, for entries of monosodium glutamate from the PRC, CBP shall require a cash deposit equal to the following dumping margins: Producer and/or Exporter: PRC-Wide Entity Case number: A-570-992-000 Cash deposit rate: 52.27% Producer: Tongliao Meihua Biological SCI-TECH Co., Ltd./Meihua Holdings Group Co., Ltd., Bazhou Branch Exporter: Langfang Meihua Bio-Technology Co., Ltd./Meihua Group International Trading (Hong Kong) Limited Case number: A-570-992-001 Cash deposit rate: 52.24% Producer and/or Exporter: Fujian Province Jianyang Wuyi MSG Co., Ltd. Case number: A-570-992-002 Cash deposit rate: 52.24% Producer and/or Exporter: Neimenggu Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd. Case number: A-570-992-003 Cash deposit rate: 52.24% Producer and/or Exporter: Baoji Fufeng Biotechnologies Co., Ltd. Case number: A-570-992-004 Cash deposit rate: 52.24% 5. For all other entries of monosodium glutamate from the PRC, the following cash deposit instructions apply: A. For all PRC exporters of monosodium glutamate from PRC which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate. B. For all non-PRC exporters of monosodium glutamate from PRC which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter/producer combinations that supplied that non-PRC exporter. 6. 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 O7: JJZ.) 7. There are no restrictions on the release of this information. Michael B.

Frequently asked questions

What is CSMS 4129301?

CSMS 4129301 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "Notice of preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of monosodium glutamate from the People's Republic of China (A-570-992) and critical circumstances.". CSMS bulletins are the operational instructions CBP issues to brokers, importers, and ACE filers covering rate changes, system updates, scope guidance, and other day-to-day customs-operations changes.

When was CSMS 4129301 published?

CBP published CSMS 4129301 on May 9, 2014. The bulletin's instructions are typically operative as of the publication date unless the body specifies a different effective date.

Which AD/CVD cases does CSMS 4129301 affect?

CSMS 4129301 references 1 AD/CVD case (A-570-992). The links on this page take you to each linked order with its current scope, rates, and history.

Is the CBP CSMS the legally binding instruction?

Yes — for at-the-border filing and entry collection. CSMS messages translate Commerce's Federal Register determinations into operational CBP instructions that ACE/ACS systems and brokers execute. The Federal Register notice is the underlying legal authority; the CSMS is the operational implementation. Both should be read together when reconciling a rate or scope change.
