Summary

Handle differences between the money posted as security for an estimated antidumping duty and the final duty like this. For goods entered or taken out of warehouse for use before the government published the Commission’s positive finding, if the posted cash, bond, or other security was less than the final duty, the importer does not have to pay the shortfall. If the posted amount was more than the final duty, the extra must be returned or the bond released. For goods entered or taken out of warehouse after that notice was published, if the deposit was less than the final duty, the government will collect the difference. If the deposit was more, the extra will be refunded.
