insulated staples (JY01-01-JY11-01) are not covered by the scope of the 
antidumping or countervailing duty orders on certain collated steel 
staples from China because they are collated using plastic insulators

A-570-979 and C-570-980: Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells 
From China

photovoltaic cells and modules manufactured in the Republic of Korea 
(Korea) are included in the scope of the antidumping duty order on 
solar cells from China and the antidumping duty order on solar products 
from Taiwan because Solaria's solar cells are completed in China and 
Taiwan with a functioning p/n junction and imported into Korea for 
module assembly, a process that has already been determined to not 
substantially transform a cell to change its country of origin; April 
8, 2021.

Different bolt patterns; (2) positive offsets; (3) different pilot

    Requestor: Weihai Gaosai Metal Product Ltd. The steel decking of

connected through welding, riveting, or otherwise; May 13, 2021.

A-570-979 and C-570-980: Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells From 
China

substantial transformation analysis used in its preliminary scope 
determination to conclude that certain solar modules imported by ET 
Solar from Vietnam containing unfinished solar wafers imported from 
China (i.e., silicon wafers with p/n junctions imparted in China) are 
within the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on 
solar cells from China. Commerce continued to find that further 
processing undertaken in Vietnam on unfinished solar cells from China 
was insufficient to transform them from Chinese-origin merchandise to 
Vietnamese-origin merchandise; June 15, 2021.
A-570-831: Fresh Garlic From China
    Requestor: RJ Van Drunen & Sons Inc. Commerce analyzed factors 
provided in 19 CFR 351.225(d) and 351.225(k)(1) and determined that 
individually quick frozen one-eighth-inch diced garlic (diced garlic) 
is not covered by the scope of the antidumping duty order on fresh 
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.
Taiwan
A-583-853: Certain Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Products From 
Taiwan
    Requestor: Solaria. Solaria's PowerXT photovoltaic cells and 
modules manufactured in Korea are included in the scope of the 
antidumping duty order on solar cells from China and the antidumping 
duty order on solar products from Taiwan because Solaria's solar cells 
are completed in China and Taiwan with a functioning p/n junction and 
imported into Korea for module assembly, a process that has already 
been determined to not substantially transform a cell to change its 
country of origin; April 8, 2021.
