1. Commerce received a scope ruling request from Sign-Zone, Inc. Commerce issued a final scope determination on 01/23/2015 that Sign-Zone, Inc.'s Premium Event Tent frame which Sign-Zone, Inc., imports is not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China (A-570-967).

2. Commerce determined that Sign-Zone, Inc.'s Premium Event Tent frame is outside the scope of the order because it is a “packaged combination of parts that contains, at the time of importation, all of the necessary parts to fully assemble a final finished good and requires no further finishing or fabrication, such as cutting or punching, and is assembled ‘as is' into such a finished product” under the scope and therefore a finished good. Therefore, Sign-Zone, Inc.'s Premium Event Tent frame is not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China.

3. For all entries of the Premium Event Tent frame not within scope that remain unliquidated on or after 11/12/2010, CBP shall terminate suspension and liquidate entries of product not within scope which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption.

4. Refund any cash deposits relating to the Premium Event Tent frame described above.

5. These instructions constitute notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of Premium Event Tent frame entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 11/12/2010.

6. The assessment of antidumping duties by CBP on shipments or entries of this merchandise is subject to the provisions of section 778 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended. Section 778 requires that CBP pay interest on overpayments or assess interest on underpayments of the required amounts deposited as estimated antidumping duties. The interest provisions are not applicable to cash or bonds posted as estimated antidumping duties before the date of publication of the antidumping duty order. Interest shall be calculated from the date payment of estimated antidumping duties is required through the date of liquidation. The rate at which such interest is payable is the rate in effect under section 6621 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 for such period.

7. Unless instructed otherwise, for all other shipments of aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China not covered by paragraph 2 above, you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated antidumping duties for the merchandise at the current rates.
