Scope Rulings Made July 1, 2022 Through September 30, 2022

People's Republic of China (China)

A-570-135 and C-570-136: Certain Chassis and Subassemblies Thereof From 
China
    Requestor: Trans Texas Tire LLC. Wheel caps are not covered by the 
scope of the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain chassis and 
subassemblies thereof from China because these components are not used 
for further assembly with a finished or unfinished chassis and are 
utilized solely for marine trailers, utility trailers, and recreational 
vehicles; July 6, 2022.
A-570-106 and C-570-107: Wooden Cabinets and Vanities and Components 
Thereof From China
    Requestor: AYC LLC. Chloe Styling Station is not covered by the 
scope of these orders because this product is a freestanding cabinet 
that is not for permanent installation. The scope of the orders covers 
wooden cabinets and vanities that are for permanent installation. 
Therefore, Chloe Styling Station is outside the scope of the orders. 
Further, Sanden Shampoo Cabinet (AYC Styling Station) is covered by the 
scope of the orders because this product requires permanent 
installation by attachment of plumbing and, thus, falls within the 
scope as a cabinet for permanent installation; August 1, 2022.
A-570-922: Raw Flexible Magnets From China
    Requestor: Fasteners for Retail, Inc. dba Siffron. Siffron's 
plastic shelf dividers are outside the scope of the AD order on raw 
flexible magnets from China because the raw flexible magnet component 
of the plastic shelf dividers is rendered inflexible by attachment to a 
component plastic blade, and the order only pertains to flexible 
magnets. Therefore, Siffron's plastic shelf divider is not within the 
scope of the order; August 9, 2022.
A-570-090 and C-570-091: Certain Steel Wheels 12 to 16.5 Inches in 
Diameter From China
    Requestor: Wheel Source, Inc. (Wheel Source). Passenger vehicle 
wheel model numbers X-76801 and 28860W, which are 16 inches in 
diameter, imported by Wheel Source are not covered by the scope of the 
AD and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on certain steel wheels 12 to 
16.5 inches in diameter (steel wheels) from China because they have 
different hub bore sizes, offsets, and load ratings that make them 
unsuitable for use on trailer or towable equipment; August 26, 2022.
A-570-899: Certain Artist Canvas From China
    Requestor: RV Print Factory LLC (RV Print). Certain polyester 
fabrics coated with ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVACPET) imported by RV 
Print are covered by the scope of the AD order on artist canvas from 
China because the fabrics are primed/coated with EVACPET to convert the 
fabric into a canvas and enter the United States as rolls that are 
converted/printed, varnished, framed, and shipped as artwork prints and 
custom photos; August 29, 2022.

Preliminary Scope Ruling/Circumvention Determination Combinations Made 
July 1, 2022 Through September 30, 2022

China

A-570-051 and C-570-052: Certain Hardwood Plywood Products From China
    Requestor: Coalition for Fair Trade in Hardwood Plywood. Commerce 
preliminarily found that hardwood plywood products assembled in Vietnam 
using certain inputs/components sourced from China and exported to the 
United States are covered by the scope of the AD and CVD rders on 
hardwood plywood products from China.
    Additionally, Commerce preliminarily determined that hardwood 
plywood products assembled in Vietnam using certain inputs/components 
sourced from China and exported to the United States were not initially 
covered by the scope but were preliminarily found to be circumventing 
the orders; July 22, 2022.
A-570-042 and C-570-043: Stainless Steel Sheet and Strip (SSSS) From 
China
    Self-initiated Scope/Circumvention Inquiry concerning SSSS from 
China, further processed in and exported from Vietnam. Preliminarily 
found that SSSS produced in China that meets all specifications of in-
scope merchandise but is exported from Vietnam, is covered by the scope 
of the AD and CVD orders on SSSS from China because the scope includes 
language covering SSSS that is further processed in a third country 
(e.g., Vietnam).
    Additionally, preliminarily found that SSSS that meets all 
specifications of in-scope merchandise but is produced in Vietnam using 
certain non-subject stainless steel flat-rolled inputs of Chinese-
origin were not initially covered by the scope, but were preliminarily 
found to be circumventing the AD and CVD orders on SSSS from China 
because the processing performed in Vietnam is minor or insignificant 
based on the totality of the factors under section 781(b)(2) of the 
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended; September 9, 2022.
