2A scope pending inquiry concerning whether lumber entering under HTS 4409.10.05 is within the scope of the AD duty order.
3A scope pending inquiry concerning whether pure and alloy magnesium processed in Canada, France, or any third country and exported to the U.S. using pure magnesium ingots originally produced in China is within the scope of the AD duty order.
4IThe pending scope inquiry as to whether certain basa and tra fillets from Cambodia, which are a product of Vietnam, are excluded from the AD duty order. The pending anticircumvention inquiry concerns whether imports of frozen fish fillets from Cambodia made from live fish sourced from Vietnam, and falling within the scope of the order, can be considered "merchandise completed or assembled in other foreign countries" and are circumventing the AD duty order.
