• Effective Date: Feb 05, 2015

1. On 02/05/2015, in response to a request by 5 Diamond Promotions, Inc., Commerce issued a final scope determination that aluminum flag pole kits which 5 Diamond Promotions, Inc. imports are within the scope of the countervailing duty order on aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China (C-570-968).

2. Because the imported product does not meet the exclusion criteria for a “finished goods kit,” as the aluminum flag pole kits solely contain aluminum extrusions and fasteners, Commerce found this product to be within the scope of the order.

3. Continue to suspend liquidation of entries of aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China, including aluminum flag pole kits imported by 5 Diamond Promotions, Inc. described above, subject to the countervailing duty order on aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China.
