Anti-Dumping & Countervailing Duties
October 2022 — Question 14
A duly licensed broker is preparing to file an entry type 03 entry on behalf of a client. The Department of Commerce (Commerce) has indicated in the Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) anti-dumping/countervailing duty (AD/CVD) Case information that the “status” of the case number is “inactive – company deactivated.” Which of the following is the correct action?
- AFile an entry type 01 consumption entry as the AD/CVD case no longer applies to the company and the merchandise, so no AD/CVD case number needs to be reported or duties deposited.
- BFile an entry type 03 with the 10-digit case number that applied to the company prior to the change in company status, just in case the company is reactivated.
- CFile an entry type 01 consumption entry and monitor the company status in the ACE case reference file so if it is reactivated you can file a post-summary correction (PSC).
- DFile an entry type 03 with another case number indicated by the cash deposit instructions and the ACE AD/CVD case reference file.✓ CBP's answer
- EFile an entry type 09 reconciliation entry so that the entry summary is flagged for future resolution and monitor the company status in ACE for reactivation. If it is reactivated, file a PSC.
