Action items

• Importers of Italian pasta from La Molisana, Garofalo, Gruppo Milo, or Rummo entities should model exposure at the preliminary rates versus deposits paid for POR entries.
• Confirm reimbursement certificates are on file under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2).
• Importers buying from rescinded companies should expect liquidation at deposit rates.
