Scope Rulings Made April 1, 2020 Through June 30, 2020

Canada
A-122-857 and C-122-858: Softwood Lumber Products From Canada
    Requestor: Harmer Steel Products Co. Finished railroad ties are 
covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders 
on softwood lumber products from Canada because they are of softwood 
lumber, sawn to size, of a width exceeding six inches, and are not 
considered ``finished products'' as defined by the scope because, at 
importation, they require further processing and cannot be readily 
differentiated from subject merchandise; June 30, 2020.
People's Republic of China (China)
A-475-832 and C-475-833; A-570-026 and C-570-027: Certain Corrosion-

Quarterly Scope Federal Register Notice that published on June 9, 
2020 (85 FR 35261).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Requestor: Trendium Pool Products, Inc. Per the CIT's instructions, 
Commerce revised an earlier determination regarding above-ground pool 
kits and pool walls manufactured by Trendium. Pool kit and pool wall 
components produced by Trendium from Italian- and Chinese-origin CORE 
are not covered by the scope of the orders on CORE from Italy and China 
because the plain language of the orders excludes downstream products 
such as pool kits, and because Commerce erred in conducting Mid 
Continent's two-step analysis on pool kits (which the CIT found to be 
finished goods); March 19, 2020.
A-570-932: Certain Steel Threaded Rod From China
    Requester: All-Pro Fasteners, Inc. ASTM A449 hot-dipped galvanized 
all-threaded rods and studs are not covered by the scope of the 
antidumping duty order on certain steel threaded rod from China because 
they are heat treated/through-hardened, consistent with ASTM A449, and 
include a ``A449'' marking on the head; April 8, 2020.
A-570-092: Mattresses From China
    Requestor: Arm's Reach Concepts, Inc. Bassinet pads are not covered 
by the scope of the antidumping duty order on mattresses from China 
because they do not meet the definition of ``youth'' or ``adult'' 
mattresses as outlined in the scope, and the scope covers only youth 
and adult mattresses; May 6, 2020.
A-570-088 and C-570-089: Certain Steel Racks and Parts Thereof From 
China
    Requestor: FlexSteel Pipeline Technologies, Inc. Certain coil skids 
are not covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty 
orders on certain steel racks and parts thereof from China because they 
do not meet the description of subject merchandise; May 11, 2020.
A-570-967 and C-570-968: Aluminum Extrusions From China
    Requestor: China Customs Manufacturing, Inc. and Greentec 
Engineering, LLC. ROCK-IT 3.0 solar roof mountings are covered by the 
scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on aluminum 
extrusions from China because they consist of aluminum extrusion 
components that are attached to form subassemblies, and they lack the 
necessary components that would allow them to function as a finished 
solar panel mounting system; May 14, 2020.
A-570-028: Hydrofluorocarbon Blends From the People's Republic of China
    Requestor: Choice Refrigerants. Unpatented R-421A produced in China 
was found to not be covered by the scope of the antidumping duty order 
on hydrofluorocarbon blends from China because the scope only covered 
five hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blends, and unpatented R-421A is not one 
of the five blends. However, because the goods were found to be 
circumventing the order, unpatented R-421A produced in China was 
brought under the antidumping duty order on HFC blends from China. See 
the anti-circumvention section below; June 4, 2020.
A-570-601: Antidumping Duty Order on Tapered Roller Bearings and Parts 
Thereof, Finished and Unfinished, From China
    Requestor: Precision Components Inc. Tapered roller bearing 
components which have been green machined but not heat treated, are 
covered by the scope of the antidumping order on tapered roller 
bearings and parts thereof, finished and unfinished, from China based 
on the totality of our analysis of the plain language of the scope and 
the criteria set forth under 19 CFR 351.225(k)(1) and (2); June 12, 
2020.
A-570-090 and C-570-091: Certain Steel Wheels 12 to 16.5 Inches in 
Diameter From China
    Requestor: U.S. Wheel Corp (U.S. Wheel). Certain models of U.S. 
Wheel's passenger vehicle and light truck wheels, discs, and rims are 
outside the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders 
because they have: (1) Larger offsets; (2) different hub bore sizes; 
and/or (3) lower load ratings that make them unsuitable for use on 
trailers or towable equipment; June 26, 2020.
Thailand
A-549-502: Circular Welded Pipe and Tubes From Thailand
    Self-initiated by Commerce. Based on our analysis pursuant to 19 
CFR 351.225(k)(1), line pipe, stenciled only as line pipe, is not 
covered by the scope of the order, products which are dual-stenciled 
(i.e., stamped to indicate compliance with two different 
specifications, such as ASTM A53 and API 5L) as standard pipe and line 
pipe are within the scope of the order; June 30, 2020.

Anti-Circumvention Determinations Made April 1, 2020 Through June 30, 
2020

    Unpatented R-421A produced in China was found to be circumventing 
and is now subject to the antidumping duty order on HFC blends from 
China; June 4, 2020.
Mexico

    Imports of otherwise straight rebar bent on one or both ends

the order; May 29, 2020.
