Notice of change in cash deposit instructions for the preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of large diameter welded pipe from India (A-533-881)

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 8303306 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (trade policy), published on October 30, 2018. It carries the official CBP guidance brokers and importers must follow for the topic — "Notice of change in cash deposit instructions for the preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of large diameter welded pipe from India (A-533-881)". It links to 2 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. On 8/27/2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register (83 FR 43653) its affirmative preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value in the antidumping duty investigation of large diameter welded pipe from India (see message number 8239307, dated 8/27/2018). The cash deposit rates in that message were adjusted to reflect offsets for certain subsidies associated with the companion countervailing duty (CVD) investigation of this merchandise (C-533-882). 2. The final day that provisional measures in the companion CVD proceeding were in effect was 10/26/2018. As a result, suspension of liquidation was discontinued in that case (see message number 8303304, dated 10/30/2018). Therefore, effective 10/27/2018 (the day after the final day of provisional measures in the companion CVD proceeding), CBP should collect the full cash deposit rate calculated in the antidumping duty proceeding, as identified in the paragraph below. 3. Accordingly, for shipments of subject merchandise from the producers and/or exporters listed below, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 10/27/2018 (the day after the final day of provisional measures in the companion CVD investigation), CBP shall require a cash deposit equal to the following dumping margins: Producer and/or exporter: Bhushan Steel Case number: A-533-881-001 Cash deposit rate: 50.55% Producer and/or exporter: Welspun Trading Limited Case number: A-533-881-002 Cash deposit rate: 50.55% Producer and/or exporter: All Others Case number: A-533-881-000 Cash deposit rate: 50.55% 4. If any entries of this merchandise are exported by a firm other than the producer, then the following instructions apply: A. If the exporter of the subject merchandise does not have its own rate but the producer has its own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the producer's rate. B. Where neither the exporter nor the producer has its own rate or the producer is unknown, use the all-others rate of 50.55% to establish the cash deposit. 5. 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 O8:KJ.) 6. There are no restrictions on the release of this information. Alexander Amdur

Frequently asked questions

What is CSMS 8303306?

CSMS 8303306 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin titled "Notice of change in cash deposit instructions for the preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of large diameter welded pipe from India (A-533-881)". 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 8303306 published?

CBP published CSMS 8303306 on October 30, 2018. 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 8303306 affect?

CSMS 8303306 references 2 AD/CVD cases (A-533-881, C-533-882). 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.
