Re: Affirmative preliminary scope ruling - antidumping/countervailing duty orders on Aluminum Extrusions from China (A-570-967/C-570-968), (Third-Country Case Numbers: A-201-994; A-247-901; A-552-998; C-201-995; C-247-902; C-552-999) 1. On 08/22/2025, Commerce issued a preliminary scope ruling that wall standoffs and components thereof imported by HTM MBS LLC (MBS) are covered by the scope of the antidumping/countervailing duty orders on Aluminum Extrusions from China (A-570-967/C-570-968). Wall standoffs are extruded aluminum fasteners that consist of a head with a permanently attached externally threaded shank, an open-ended internally threaded aluminum barrel, and silicon washers. 2. Specifically, Commerce preliminarily determined that wall standoffs and components thereof are covered by the scope of the order(s) because the Orders cover six series alloys that are produced and fabricated through processes like threading and certain types of anodizing, which MBS utilizes for its products. Additionally, adding non-extruded fasteners to extruded aluminum components or kits does not exempt those kits from the Orders. 3. This preliminary scope ruling is applicable only to merchandise imported by MBS. 4. Continue to suspend liquidation of entries of wall standoffs and components thereof that are already subject to the suspension of liquidation in accordance with message 5099401, dated 04/09/2025 5. For all entries of wall standoffs and components thereof not already subject to the suspension of liquidation, CBP should suspend liquidation of: (i) shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 03/21/2025 and (ii) shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 11/04/2021 CBP shall require, for such entries, a cash deposit at the applicable rate(s) in effect on the date of entry. 6. Entries of products covered by paragraphs 4 and 5 should not be liquidated until specific liquidation instructions are issued. Any such entries that are set for liquidation must be unset immediately. 7. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(l)(5), this instruction does not affect or otherwise limit CBP's independent authority to take any additional action with respect to the suspension of liquidation or related measures. 8. If there are any questions by the importing public regarding this message, please contact the Call Center for the Office of AD/CVD Operations, Enforcement and Compliance, International Trade Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, at (202) 482-0984. CBP ports should submit their inquiries through authorized CBP channels only. (This message was generated by OP:TT.) 9. There are no restrictions on the release of this information. Alexander Amdur
