Scope Rulings Made July 1, 2022 Through September 30, 2022
People's Republic of China (China)
A-570-135 and C-570-136: Certain Chassis and Subassemblies Thereof From
China
Requestor: Trans Texas Tire LLC. Wheel caps are not covered by the
scope of the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain chassis and
subassemblies thereof from China because these components are not used
for further assembly with a finished or unfinished chassis and are
utilized solely for marine trailers, utility trailers, and recreational
vehicles; July 6, 2022.
A-570-106 and C-570-107: Wooden Cabinets and Vanities and Components
Thereof From China
Requestor: AYC LLC. Chloe Styling Station is not covered by the
scope of these orders because this product is a freestanding cabinet
that is not for permanent installation. The scope of the orders covers
wooden cabinets and vanities that are for permanent installation.
Therefore, Chloe Styling Station is outside the scope of the orders.
Further, Sanden Shampoo Cabinet (AYC Styling Station) is covered by the
scope of the orders because this product requires permanent
installation by attachment of plumbing and, thus, falls within the
scope as a cabinet for permanent installation; August 1, 2022.
A-570-922: Raw Flexible Magnets From China
Requestor: Fasteners for Retail, Inc. dba Siffron. Siffron's
plastic shelf dividers are outside the scope of the AD order on raw
flexible magnets from China because the raw flexible magnet component
of the plastic shelf dividers is rendered inflexible by attachment to a
component plastic blade, and the order only pertains to flexible
magnets. Therefore, Siffron's plastic shelf divider is not within the
scope of the order; August 9, 2022.
A-570-090 and C-570-091: Certain Steel Wheels 12 to 16.5 Inches in
Diameter From China
Requestor: Wheel Source, Inc. (Wheel Source). Passenger vehicle
wheel model numbers X-76801 and 28860W, which are 16 inches in
diameter, imported by Wheel Source are not covered by the scope of the
AD and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on certain steel wheels 12 to
16.5 inches in diameter (steel wheels) from China because they have
different hub bore sizes, offsets, and load ratings that make them
unsuitable for use on trailer or towable equipment; August 26, 2022.
A-570-899: Certain Artist Canvas From China
Requestor: RV Print Factory LLC (RV Print). Certain polyester
fabrics coated with ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVACPET) imported by RV
Print are covered by the scope of the AD order on artist canvas from
China because the fabrics are primed/coated with EVACPET to convert the
fabric into a canvas and enter the United States as rolls that are
converted/printed, varnished, framed, and shipped as artwork prints and
custom photos; August 29, 2022.
Preliminary Scope Ruling/Circumvention Determination Combinations Made
July 1, 2022 Through September 30, 2022
China
A-570-051 and C-570-052: Certain Hardwood Plywood Products From China
Requestor: Coalition for Fair Trade in Hardwood Plywood. Commerce
preliminarily found that hardwood plywood products assembled in Vietnam
using certain inputs/components sourced from China and exported to the
United States are covered by the scope of the AD and CVD rders on
hardwood plywood products from China.
Additionally, Commerce preliminarily determined that hardwood
plywood products assembled in Vietnam using certain inputs/components
sourced from China and exported to the United States were not initially
covered by the scope but were preliminarily found to be circumventing
the orders; July 22, 2022.
A-570-042 and C-570-043: Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip (SSSS) From
China
Self-initiated Scope/Circumvention Inquiry concerning SSSS from
China, further processed in and exported from Vietnam. Preliminarily
found that SSSS produced in China that meets all specifications of in-
scope merchandise but is exported from Vietnam, is covered by the scope
of the AD and CVD orders on SSSS from China because the scope includes
language covering SSSS that is further processed in a third country
(e.g., Vietnam).
Additionally, preliminarily found that SSSS that meets all
specifications of in-scope merchandise but is produced in Vietnam using
certain non-subject stainless steel flat-rolled inputs of Chinese-
origin were not initially covered by the scope, but were preliminarily
found to be circumventing the AD and CVD orders on SSSS from China
because the processing performed in Vietnam is minor or insignificant
based on the totality of the factors under section 781(b)(2) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended; September 9, 2022.
