(a) For covered merchandise entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after publication of the countervailing-duty order, a customs officer may not deliver it to the importer or the person for whose account it was imported unless that person meets subsection (b) and deposits the amount of estimated duty set by the administering authority.
(b) The person must (1) provide or arrange to provide information the authority considers necessary to determine duty; (2) keep and provide the required merchandise records; and (3) pay, or agree to pay on demand, the duty imposed on that merchandise.
For all entries, or withdrawals from warehouse, for consumption of merchandise subject to a countervailing duty order on or after the date of publication of such order, no customs officer may deliver merchandise of that class or kind to the person by whom or for whose account it was imported unless that person complies with the requirement of subsection (b) and deposits with the appropriate customs officer an estimated countervailing duty in an amount determined by the administering authority.
In order to meet the requirements of this subsection, a person shall—
furnish, or arrange to have furnished, to the appropriate customs officer such information as the administering authority deems necessary for ascertaining any countervailing duty to be imposed under this part,
maintain and furnish to the customs officer such records concerning such merchandise as the administering authority, by regulation, requires, and
pay, or agree to pay on demand, to the customs officer the amount of countervailing duty imposed under this part on that merchandise.
