BEARINGS AND PARTS THEREOF, BY LINDSAY FOREST PRODUCTS
FROM SWEDEN (A-401-201, A-401-203, A-401-205)


1. ON JULY 22, 1991, IN RESPONSE TO A REQUEST BY LINDSAY FOREST
PRODUCTS, INCORPORATED (LINDSAY), THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
ISSUED A SCOPE CLARIFICATION DETERMINING THAT THE "SNAP RINGS"
AND "WIRE RACES" FOR WHICH LINDSAY WAS SEEKING SCOPE EXCLUSION
ARE WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE ANTIDUMPING AND COUNTERVAILING DUTY
ORDERS ON ANTIFRICTION BEARINGS.

2. LINDSAY ARGUED THAT THE SNAP RINGS AND WIRE RACES WHICH THEY
IMPORTED INTO THE UNITED STATES ARE NOT MANUFACTURED IN THE
UNITED STATES, AND, THEREFORE, ARE NOT CAUSING MATERIAL INJURY TO
THE UNITED STATES DOMESTIC INDUSTRY. THESE PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN
CLASSIFIED AS PARTS OF BALL BEARINGS, HTS NUMBER 8482.991010.
ABSENCE OF DOMESTIC PRODUCTION DOES NOT REMOVE AN AFB FROM THE
SCOPE OF THE ORDERS.

3. CONTINUE TO SUSPEND LIQUIDATION OF ENTRIES OF "SNAP RINGS"
AND "WIRE RACES" AND ALL OTHER ANTIFRICTION BEARINGS FROM SWEDEN.

4. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS MATTER BY CUSTOMS
