and end-formed based on customer designs. Delphi imports the core tubes 
for use in automotive HVAC systems for specific brands of vehicles. The

exercise bike). Concerning the E-TRx treadmill base kit, E-RB recumbent 
bike base kit, and E-UB upright bike base kit, the Department found 
that the products constituted finished subassemblies that require no 
further finishing or fabrication after importation. On this basis, the
