Final Scope Rulings
India
A-533-881 and C-533-882: Large Diameter Welded Pipe From India
Requestor: Ratnamani Metals & Tubes, Ltd (Ratnamani). The
merchandise covered by these orders is welded carbon and alloy steel
line pipe (other than stainless steel pipe), more than 406.4 mm (16
inches) in nominal outside diameter (large diameter welded line pipe),
regardless of wall thickness, length, surface finish, grade, end
finish, or stenciling. Large diameter welded line pipe is used to
transport oil, gas, or natural gas liquids and is normally produced to
the American Petroleum Institute (API) specification 5L. Large diameter
welded line pipe can be produced to comparable foreign specifications,
grades and/or standards or to proprietary specifications, grades and/or
standards, or can be non-graded material. Large diameter welded line
pipe produced by Ratnamani with an outer diameter exceeding 16 inches
and meeting the specifications for ASTM grades A671, A672, and A691
meets the physical description of subject merchandise and is therefore
within the scope of the orders: February 23, 2026.
Mexico
A-201-859: Mattresses From Mexico
Requestor: Bob Barker Company Inc. (Bob Barker). The products
covered by the Order are all types of youth and adult mattresses. The
term ``mattress'' denotes an assembly of materials that at a minimum
includes a ``core,'' which provides the main support system of the
mattress, and may consist of innersprings, foam, other resilient
filling, or a combination of these materials. Commerce found that Bob
Barker's product is a U.S.-origin mattress core that is not
substantially transformed when assembled with a cover in Mexico.
Therefore, because Bob Barker's product did not undergo substantial
transformation in Mexico, we find that they have a country of origin of
the United States and are outside of the scope of the order: March 10,
2026.
People's Republic of China (China)
A-570-967 and C-570-968: Aluminum Extrusions From China
Requestor: HTM MBS LLC. The wall standoffs and components thereof
(wall
[[Page 25857]]
standoffs) imported by HTM MBS LLC (MBS) are covered by the scope of
the antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders on aluminum
extrusions from China because they are composed of 6xxx-series aluminum
extrusion components that are fabricated through processes expressly
included in the antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders (e.g.,
machining, threading, and anodizing): March 24, 2026.
A-570-129 and C-570-130: Certain Walk-Behind Lawn Mowers and Parts
Thereof from China
Requestor: Daye North America, Inc. (DNA). DNA's walk-behind lawn
mowers, assembled in Thailand using U.S.-origin engines and Chinese-
origin cutting deck shells, as described, are excluded from the scope
of the orders because the plain language of the scope requires that the
engine and cutting deck shell be attached to one another in China, and
that attachment of inquiry merchandise occurs in Thailand: January 29,
2026.
A-570-067 and C-570-068: Forged Steel Fittings From China
Requestor: AGS Company Automotive Solutions (AGS). Brake hose
fittings imported by AGS are not covered by the scope of the
antidumping and countervailing duty orders on forged steel fittings
from China because the inquiry merchandise is substantially similar to
previously excluded fittings used to convey noncorrosive fluid through
a machine that powers pumps, motors, and engines, rather than corrosive
materials: January 28, 2026.
Poland
A-455-807: Mattresses From Poland
Requestor: EBI, LLC (EBI). The scope of the order states that the
term ``mattress'' denotes an assembly of materials that at a minimum
includes a ``core.'' The mattress covers imported by EBI do not contain
a core consisting of ``innersprings, foam, other resilient filling or a
combination of these materials;'' therefore, the mattress covers do not
fall within scope of the order: January 28, 2026.
