Examples of ITA Scope Rulings and Anticircumvention Determinations
The ITA issues scope rulings to determine whether a specific product is within the scope of an AD or CV duty order, and anticircumvention determinations to determine whether a specific product circumvents an AD or CV duty order.
Examples of completed scope rulings on the ITA's list includes its determinations that the VIKA Twofold 2-in-1 Workbench/Scaffold is not within the scope of the AD duty order on folding metal tables and chairs from China; and certain convertible cribs are not within the scope of the AD duty order on wooden bedroom furniture from China. An example of a pending scope inquiry includes whether certain textile machinery components are within the scope of the AD duty order on ball bearings and parts thereof from Germany; and an example of a pending anticircumvention determination includes whether the common leg table produced in China is a minor alteration that circumvents the AD duty order on folding metal tables and chairs from China.
