The product covered by this order is collated staples from China. For a complete description of the scope of this order, see the appendix to this notice. Countervailing Duty Order On July 13, 2020, in accordance with sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 705(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination in this investigation, in which it found that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of subsidized imports of collated staples from China. In accordance with section 705(c)(2) of the Act, we are publishing this countervailing duty order. Id. Therefore, in accordance with section 706(a) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, countervailing duties on unliquidated entries of collated staples from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after November 12, 2019, the date on which Commerce published its preliminary countervailing duty determination in the Federal Register, and before March 11, 2020, the effective date on which Commerce instructed CBP to discontinue the suspension of liquidation, in accordance with section 703(d) of the Act. Section 703(d) of the Act states that the suspension of liquidation pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months. Therefore, entries of collated staples from China made on or after March 11, 2020, and prior to the date of publication of the ITC's final determination in the Federal Register, are not subject to the assessment of countervailing duties due to Commerce's discontinuation of the suspension of liquidation. See Certain Collated Steel Staples from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, and Alignment of Final Determination with Final Antidumping Duty Determination, 84 FR 61021 (November 12, 2019) (Preliminary Determination), and accompanying Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Critical Circumstances With regard to the ITC's negative critical circumstances determination on imports of collated staples from China, we will instruct CBP to lift suspension and to refund any cash deposits made to secure the payment of estimated countervailing duties with respect to entries of collated staples from China, entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after August 14, 2019 (i.e., 90 days prior to the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination), but before November 12, 2019 (i.e., the date of the publication of the Preliminary Determination for this investigation). Suspension of Liquidation In accordance with section 706 of the Act, Commerce will direct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of collated staples from China, effective the date of publication of the ITC's notice of final determination in the Federal Register, and to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing duties for each entry of the subject merchandise in an amount based on the net countervailable subsidy rates for the subject merchandise. On or after the date of publication of the ITC's final injury determination in the Federal Register, CBP must require, at the same time as importers would deposit estimated normal customs duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the subsidy rates noted below. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. The all-others rate applies to all producers or exporters not specifically listed below.

Therefore, entries of collated staples from China made on or after March 11, 2020, and prior to the date of publication of the ITC's final determination in the Federal Register, are not subject to the assessment of countervailing duties due to Commerce's discontinuation of the suspension of liquidation.
