Requestor: GameChange Solar Corp. The off-grid solar charging module with part numbers GC4291F, GC4291FE, GC3291F, or GC3291FE is covered by the scope of the AD and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from China because the solar cells in the charging module do not differ physically from the crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells covered by the scope of the orders and the charging module does not meet any of the exclusions in the scope of the orders.

Requestor: Allied Wheel Components, Inc. (Allied Wheel). Certain models of passenger vehicle and light truck discs and rims imported by Allied Wheel are outside the scope of the AD and CVD orders on certain steel wheels 12 to 16.5 inches in diameter from China because the requested products are distinguishable from in-scope trailer wheels on the basis of hub bore size, offset, load rating, and/or bolt pattern that make them unsuitable for use on trailer or towable equipment. Aug. 21, 2024 (see 2408300052).
A-583-869: Passenger Vehicle and Light Truck Tires From Taiwan
Requestor: Cheng Shin Rubber Ind. Co. Ltd.

However, we acknowledge that a future version of the TRA Yearbook could bring previously excluded tires into the scope. Aug. 5, 2024 (see 2408120025).
