Notice of change in cash deposit instructions for the preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation of refillable stainless steel kegs from the People s Republic of China (A-570-093)

Plain-English explanation

CSMS 9254301 is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Cargo Systems Messaging Service bulletin (trade policy), published on September 11, 2019. 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 refillable stainless steel kegs from the People s Republic of China (A-570-093)". 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.

1. On 06/04/2019, Commerce published in the Federal Register (84 FR 25745) its affirmative preliminary determination of sales at less than fair value and critical circumstances in the antidumping duty investigation of refillable stainless steel kegs from the People's Republic of China (see message number 9158303, dated 06/07/2019). 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-570-094). 2. The final day that provisional measures in the companion CVD proceeding were in effect was 08/02/2019. As a result, suspension of liquidation was discontinued in that case (see message number 9242305, dated 08/30/2019). Therefore, effective 08/03/2019 (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of subject merchandise from the producers and/or exporters or producer/exporter combinations listed below, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 08/03/2019 (the day after the final day of provisional measures in the companion CVD investigation), CBP shall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: Exporter: Ningbo Master International Trade Co., Ltd. Producer: Ningbo Major Draft Beer Equipment Co., Ltd. Case number: A-570-093-001 Cash deposit rate: 2.01% Exporter: Ningbo Haishu Direct Import and Export Trade Co., Ltd. Producer: Ningbo Haishu Xiangsheng Metal Products Plant Case number: A-570-093-002 Cash deposit rate: 2.01% Exporter: Guangzhou Jingye Machinery Co., Ltd. Producer: Guangzhou Jingye Machinery Co., Ltd. Case number: A-570-093-003 Cash deposit rate: 2.01% Exporter: Guangzhou Ulix Industrial & Trading Co., Ltd. Producer: Guangzhou Jingye Machinery Co., Ltd. Case number: A-570-093-004 Cash deposit rate: 2.01% Exporter: China-Wide Entity Case number: A-570-093-000 Cash deposit rate: 79.71% 4. For all other entries of subject merchandise, the following cash deposit instructions apply: A. For all China exporter/producer combinations of the subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the China-wide rate of 79.71%. B. For all non-China exporters of the subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter/producer combination that supplied that non-China exporter. 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 OI:AP.) 6. There are no restrictions on the release of this information. Alexander Amdur

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.
