Scope Rulings Made January 1, 2019 Through March 31, 2019:
Italy
A-475-818 and C-475-819: Certain Pasta From Italy
Requestor: European Imports, Inc. Nine gnocchi potato dumpling
varieties are outside the scope of the antidumping and countervailing
duty orders on certain pasta from Italy because the antidumping and
countervailing duty orders pertain to non-egg dry pasta, which does not
include the nine gnocchi potato dumpling varieties that European
Imports distributes; January 30, 2019.
People's Republic of China (China)
A-570-967 and C-570-968: Aluminum Extrusions From China
Requestor: Tosoh SMD, Inc. The requestor's sputtering target
backing plates are not covered by the scope of the antidumping and
countervailing duty orders on aluminum extrusions from China, because
they contain no extruded aluminum; January 31, 2019.
A-570-899: Artist Canvas From China
Requestors: Impact Images. Polyester fabric coated with flame
retardant and polyurethane (PFCPU) imported by Impact Images is outside
the scope of the order, because it is not primed/coated with a solution
designed to promote the adherence of artist materials, such as paint or
ink, to the fabric. Specifically, PFCPU is coated only with flame
retardant and polyurethane, which do not promote the adherence of
artistic materials, such as paint or ink, to the fabric. The priming/
coating material, and the application thereof, commonly known as
`gesso' or `gessoing', is a requisite component of the subject
merchandise and, therefore, the PFCPU imported by Impact Images is not
within the scope of the antidumping duty order on certain artist canvas
from China; February 8, 2019.
A-570-922 and C-570-923: Raw Flexible Magnets From China; A-583-842:
Raw Flexible Magnets From Taiwan
Requestor: Magnum Magnetics Corporation. Granulated flexible
magnets are outside the scope of the orders on raw flexible magnets
from China and Taiwan because the product cannot be bent, folded, or
manipulated and, thus, are not flexible; March 14, 2019.
Anti-Circumvention Determinations Made January 1, 2019 Through March
31, 2019
Mexico

Requestor: Nucor Corporation. Wire rod produced and/or exported by
Deacero S.A.P.I. de CV with an actual diameter less than 4.75
millimeters, and otherwise meeting the description of the scope of the
order constitutes merchandise altered in form or appearance in minor
respects from in-scope merchandise and is subject to the antidumping
duty order on carbon and certainly alloy steel wire rod from Mexico;
March 13, 2019.
Correction
A-570-814: Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from China 3
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ In the scope rulings notice that published on September 25,
2019 (84 FR 50385) covering scope rulings and anti-circumvention
decisions that were signed or published between October 1, 2018 and
December 31, 2018, the notice inadvertently stated that Commerce
determined that the SAFELET and UNILET fire-protection weld outlets
were outside the scope of the antidumping duty order on carbon steel
butt-weld pipe fittings from China. Instead, Commerce determined
that the merchandise under review was covered by the scope of the
order. This is a correction to the September 25, 2019, notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requestor: SIGMA Corporation. SAFELET and UNILET fire-protection
weld outlets it imports from China are subject to the China carbon
steel butt-weld order because both products feature a beveled end, each
has a single butt-welded connection, and they otherwise meet the
physical description of merchandise covered by the scope; December 11,
2018.
