Notice of lifting of suspension of entries covered by paragraph 5 below occurred with this message and on the message date of these instructions. Unless instructed otherwise, for shipments of merchandise covered by the scope of the orders you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated antidumping/countervailing duties for the merchandise at the current rates. 2. On 12/22/2025, Commerce issued a final scope ruling that feedstock for wooden slats for window blinds; feedstock for wooden bottom rails for window blinds; and feedstock for wooden valances for window blinds imported by Blinds to Go (US), Inc. are not covered by the scope of the antidumping/countervailing duty orders on wood mouldings and millwork products from the People's Republic of China (A-570-117, C-570-118 ). 3. Specifically, Commerce determined that (1) Feedstock for wooden slats for window blinds, hereinafter "slat stock;" (2) Feedstock wooden bottom rails for window blinds, hereinafter "bottom rail stock;" and (3) Feedstock for wooden valences for window blinds, hereinafter "valance stock." imported by Blinds to Go (US), Inc are outside the scope of the order(s) because these products are thin, lightweight, and physically insubstantial and are not designed for permanent or structural installation in buildings. They do not exhibit the profiled or contoured shapes, or the structurally substantial forms, associated with in-scope mouldings, blanks, door and jamb components, or architectural accessories such as mouldings, rosettes, and plinth blocks. Unlike in-scope wooden shutters, the blind-feedstock material is not thick or heavy, does not include louver or pivot-pin design features, and is not installed as a permanent fixture within a window frame. Slat stock is made from basswood (Tilia americana). At the time of importation, slat stock is cut to specific widths (nominally 1 inch or 2 inches, with actual widths being within tolerances) and specific thicknesses (nominally 0.110 inches, with actual widths being within tolerances). The slat stock is shipped in lengths between 20 inches and 96 inches. The slat stock also has stated bow and camber allowances to ensure the shape of the stock can be used to make wood slats. Finally, the slat stock is covered with a UV protected finish on all surfaces except the ends. This finish can be in a variety of colors but always provides UV protection. The slat stock is not finger-jointed. Bottom rail stock is made from basswood (Tilia americana). At the time of importation, bottom rail stock is cut to specific widths (nominally 1 inch or 2 inches, with actual widths being within tolerances) and specific thicknesses (nominally 0.590 inches, with actual widths being within tolerances). The bottom rail stock is shipped in lengths between 20 inches and 96 inches. The bottom rail stock also has stated bow and camber allowances to ensure the shape of the stock can be used to make bottom rails. Finally, the bottom rail stock is covered with a UV protected finish on all surfaces except the ends. This finish can be in a variety of colors but always provides UV protection. The bottom rail stock is not finger-jointed. Valance stock is made from basswood (Tilia americana). At the time of importation, valance stock is cut to specific widths (nominally 2.5 inches or 3.25 inches, with actual widths being within tolerances) and specific thicknesses (nominally 0.315 inches or 0.590 inches, with actual thicknesses being within tolerances). The valance stock is also sent through a cutter that creates a decorative element on the face of the valance stock. The valance stock is shipped in various lengths between 20 inches and 96 inches. The valance stock also has stated bow and camber allowances to ensure the shape of the stock can be used to make valances. Finally, the valance stock is covered with a UV protected finish on all surfaces except the ends. This finish can be in a variety of colors but always provides UV protection. The valance stock is not finger-jointed. 4. This final scope ruling is applicable only to merchandise imported by Blinds to Go (US), Inc. 5. For all unliquidated entries of feedstock for wooden slats for window blinds; feedstock for wooden bottom rails for window blinds; and feedstock for wooden valances for window blinds imported by Blinds to Go (US), Inc. that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after 06/12/2020 (the first date of suspension of liquidation in these proceedings), CBP should terminate suspension of liquidation and liquidate such entries without regard to antidumping/countervailing duties (i.e., refund all cash deposits) 6. The assessment of antidumping/countervailing 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/countervailing duties. The interest provisions are not applicable to cash posted as estimated antidumping/countervailing duties before the date of publication of the antidumping/countervailing duty order. Interest shall be calculated from the date payment of estimated antidumping/countervailing 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. This instruction to liquidate entries of subject merchandise covered by this message does not limit CBP's independent authority, including its authority to suspend, continue to suspend, or extend liquidation of entries addressed by this message. Accordingly, CBP should examine all entries for which this message directs liquidation to determine whether any such entries are subject to suspension, continued suspension, or extension of liquidation pursuant to CBP's independent authority (e.g., Enforce and Protect Act proceeding under section 517 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended). If entries of subject merchandise covered by this message are subject to suspension, continued suspension, or extension of liquidation pursuant to CBP's own authority, CBP port officials should follow CBP's internal procedures with respect to continuing any suspension, the lifting of suspension, and/or continuing any extension of liquidation for such entries. 8.
