- Assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication. A CIT summons holds liquidation for the 90-day injunction window.
- Reimbursement certificate under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) before liquidation, or Commerce may presume reimbursement and assess double AD duties.
Comment 1: price difference test two-percent threshold. Comment 2: international freight in Universal's U.S. freight revenue cap. Comment 3: cap on Universal's cutting revenue. Comment 4: prime vs non-prime sales matching. Full discussion is on ACCESS (access.trade.gov).
