People's Republic of China (China)
C-570-081: Glycine From China
Requestor: GEO Specialty Chemicals, Inc. Calcium glycinate is not
covered by the scope of the countervailing duty order on glycine from
China because calcium glycinate is a precursor of glycine and calcium
glycinate is not a type of glycine: October 11, 2023.
A-570-967 and C-570-968: Aluminum Extrusions From China
Requestor: Wagner Spray Tech Corporation. Wagner Spray Tech
Corporation's part number 805-324 manifold is covered by the scope of
the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on aluminum extrusions
from China because it does not satisfy the design and testing

A-570-890: Woodend Bedroom Furniture From China
Requestor: Moe's Home Collection Inc. Certain case pieces of

cases were suitable for storing clothes, and were advertised as bedroom
furniture: November 22, 2023.
A-570-131 and C-570-132: Twist Ties From China
Requestor: Essential Ribbons, Inc. The twist tie component of twist
ties attached with bows are covered by the orders. Commerce determined
the twist tie component was within the scope of the orders based on an
analysis under19 CFR 351.225(k)(3). First, Commerce examined the
merchandise as a whole and found it had multiple components because it
was described as having two pieces with different functions and the
pieces were either not attached or attached by a single stitch. Then
Commerce examined the twist tie component and found it was explicitly
covered by the scope in both function and physical description.
Finally, Commerce examined if the inclusion of the twist tie with the
attachable bow resulted in an exclusion of the scope inquiry
merchandise from the scope of the orders. Since there is no exclusion
for a twist tie that is a component of merchandise that has a bow,
Commerce found the twist tie was not excluded from the orders. The
twist tie component of twist ties attached with bows is, therefore,
covered by the scope of the orders; November 27, 2023.
A-570-095 and C-570-096: Aluminum Wire and Cable From China
Requestor: Imperium Cables, LLC. (Imperium). Imperium's Type SER
and Type URD aluminum conductor cables that are manufactured in Korea
by Pusan Cables & Engineering Co., Ltd., and incorporate aluminum wire
cable that is produced in China by Hebei Huatong Wires and Cables Group
Co., Ltd. (Hebei Huatong), are not covered by the scope of the
antidumping and countervailing duty orders, because the aluminum wire
produced by Hebei
[[Page 47897]]
Huatong is uninsulated and, therefore, does not meet the criterion of
the scope. The scope of the orders provides that ``at least one of the
electrical conductors is insulated.'' December 4, 2023.
A-570-117: Wood Mouldings and Millwork Products From China
