Final Scope Rulings
Italy
A-475-839: Forged Steel Fittings From Italy
Requestor: National Oilwell Varco, L.P. (NOV). The Hubs of the PFT
Hub & Cap System, imported by NOV, are excluded from the scope of the
antidumping duty order on forged steel fittings from Italy because the
Hub is a butt weld fitting, which is excluded from the order. In
addition, the Caps of the System, imported by NOV, are covered by the
plain language of the Order and do not meet any of the exclusions
contained in the scope: June 24, 2025.
People's Republic of China (China)
A-570-967 and C-570-968: Aluminum Extrusions From China
Requestor: Utility Transportation Carts, Inc. (UTC). On April 3,
2025, Commerce rescinded the scope inquiry on UTC's flatbed utility
carts because UTC did not provide evidence that the product was
imported into the United States or that the product was commercially
produced and sold in any other market: April 3, 2025.
A-570-967 and C-570-968: Aluminum Extrusions From China
Requestor: HTM MBS LLC (MBS). The screw covers imported by MBS are
covered by the scope of the AD and CVD orders on aluminum extrusions
from China because the aluminum extrusion components satisfy the
general scope language, the record shows that the screw covers are sold
as two separate parts, and the screw covers function more as an
unfinished subassembly than an actual finished product: June 30, 2025.
A-570-108 and C-570-109: Ceramic Tiles From China
Requestor: WJC LLC (WJC). Ceramic roofing tiles imported together
as a kit by WJC LLC are not covered by the scope of the AD and CVD

together as a complete roof kit: May 23, 2025.
A-570-082 and C-570-083: Certain Steel Wheels (22.5 and 24.5 Inches in
Diameter) From China
Requestor: Accuride Cooperation and Maxion Wheels USA LLC. On May
6, 2025, Commerce rescinded the scope inquiry because the record does
not substantiate extant production of certain steel wheels with a
diameter of 22.5 and 24.5 inches from China and the evidentiary basis
for the initiation of the scope inquiry is insufficiently supported:
May 6, 2025.
A-570-985: Xanthan Gum From China
Requestor: Gum Products International, Inc. GPI Xantech DF40 and
GPI Xantech DF40-D are covered by the scope of the AD order on xanthan

products have a country of origin of China: May 20, 2025.
A-570-016 and C-570-017: Passenger Vehicle Light Truck Tires From China
Requestor: Logistical Resource Development Inc. (LRD). The T-Type
tires produced by Shandong Linglong Tyre Co., Ltd and imported from
China by LRD are not covered by the scope of the AD and CVD orders on
passenger vehicle light truck tires from China because they lack a
``P'' or ``LT'' prefix and their numerical size designations are not
listed in the ``P'' or ``LT'' tables of the Tire and Rim Association
Year Book. In addition, their sizes are not of a size that fits cars or
light trucks: May 6, 2025.
Preliminary Determinations
A-570-117 and C-570-118: Wood Mouldings and Millwork Products From
China
Requestor: Blinds to Go (US), Inc. (BTG). Certain feedstock for
window blinds imported by BTG are preliminarily determined to not be
covered by the scope of the AD and CVD orders on wood mouldings and
millwork products from China because such feedstock is intended
exclusively for window blinds rather than for architectural accessories
or building uses: April 11, 2025.
