According to public information notice FY06-0002 from the Customs Port of Boston , effective Oct. 1, 2005 , CBP will no longer request antidumping duty reimbursement certificates upon receipt of final assessment instructions. Brokers and Importers are strongly urged to file reimbursement certificates with entry summaries at the time of submission, including the signature of an officer of the importing company. If Customs has not received the reimbursement certificate prior to the liquidation of the entry, antidumping duty assessed will be doubled, and any subsequent protest for this issue will be denied. A blanket statement will be accepted by CBP if it shows the specific antidumping case, the name of the shipper/manufacturer, and the time period covered.
