Cash deposit instructions for modules, laminates, or panels, produced in third countries (multiple case nos.) from subject solar cells produced in the PRC (A-570-979)

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 7191302 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (trade policy), published on July 10, 2017. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Cash deposit instructions for modules, laminates, or panels, produced in third countries (multiple case nos.) from subject solar cells produced in the PRC (A-570-979)". It links to 3 AD/CVD cases 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. Commerce has published in the Federal Register (82 FR 29033) on 06/27/2017, the final results of administrative review of certain exporters subject to the antidumping duty order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells (solar cells), whether or not assembled into modules, from the People's Republic of China (PRC) for the period 12/01/2014 through 11/30/2015. Concurrent with these third-country cash deposit instructions, Commerce is issuing cash deposit instructions with regard to this merchandise produced in the PRC. Those instructions do not include the relevant case numbers for modules, laminates, or panels, produced in a third country from subject solar cells produced in the PRC. Accordingly, we are issuing these instructions. 2. As a result of Commerce's review, the cash deposit rates have been revised for certain exporters. Therefore, for modules, laminates, or panels, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 06/27/2017 that were produced in a third country from subject solar cells that were produced in the PRC, the required cash deposit has been revised for the following third-country case numbers: Country: Canada PRC solar cell exporter: JA Solar Technology Yangzhou Co., Ltd. Case number: A-122-988-006 Cash deposit rate: 6.98 percent Country: Malaysia PRC solar cell exporter: Yingli Energy (China) Company Limited/Baoding Tianwei Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd./Tianjin Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd./Hengshui Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd./Lixian Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd./Baoding Jiasheng Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd./Beijing Tianneng Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd./Hainan Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd./ Shenzhen Yingli New Energy Resources Co., Ltd. Case number: A-557-988-001 Cash deposit rate: 6.98 percent 3. If the third-country exporter of subject modules, laminates, or panels produced in the third-country from subject solar cells produced in the PRC does not have its own rate, the U.S. importer may enter the merchandise at the PRC solar cell exporter's rate. U.S. importers who wish to enter such merchandise at the company-specific cash deposit rate of the PRC solar cell exporter should contact the port of entry immediately for assistance with obtaining the appropriate company-specific third-country case number if one does not already exist. CBP headquarters should notify Commerce immediately about such requests so that Commerce may establish the appropriate case number in the ACE antidumping/countervailing duty case reference file. 4. If neither the third-country exporter of subject modules, laminates, or panels produced in the third-country from subject solar cells produced in the PRC, nor the PRC exporter that supplied the solar cells used to produce the third-country modules, laminates, or panels has its own rate, use the applicable third-country all others rate (the case number ending with -000). 5. These cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice. Do not liquidate any entries of merchandise included in this administrative review until assessment instructions are issued. 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 OIV: JDP.) 7. There are no restrictions on the release of this information.

Frequently asked questions

What is CSMS 7191302?

CSMS 7191302 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "Cash deposit instructions for modules, laminates, or panels, produced in third countries (multiple case nos.) from subject solar cells produced in the PRC (A-570-979)". 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 7191302 published?

CBP published CSMS 7191302 on July 10, 2017. 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 7191302 affect?

CSMS 7191302 references 3 AD/CVD cases (A-122-988, A-557-988, A-570-979). 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.
