insulated staples (JY01-01-JY11-01) are not covered by the scope of the

garlic from China because the description of the merchandise from the
Petition, the investigation, and prior scope determinations are
dispositive in determining that the diced garlic at issue is not within
the scope of the Order. Therefore, Commerce did not analyze the
additional factors provided in 19 CFR 351.225(k)(2); June 28, 2021.

been determined to not substantially transform a cell to change its
country of origin; April 8, 2021.
