A-570-890: Woodend Bedroom Furniture From China

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 under 19 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; Nov. 27, 2023.
A-570-095 and C-570-096: Aluminum Wire and Cable From China

Imperium's Type SER and Type URD aluminum conductor cables that are manufactured in South 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 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.” Dec. 4, 2023.
A-570-117: Wood Mouldings and Millwork Products From China
Requestor: Chicago Dowel Company Inc. Small diameter wood dowels are covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on wood mouldings and millwork products from China because they are made of wood, continuously shaped wood, and in the form of dowels: Dec. 11, 2023.
