Notice of the lifting of suspension occurred on the message date of these instructions. See paragraph 5 below.

1. Commerce received a scope ruling request from Seville Classics, Inc. (“Seville”). Commerce issued a final scope determination on 06/24/2016 that Seville's 21 shoe racks and shelving units encompassing 21 distinct products, described, generally, as “steel shelving without locking frames,” which Seville imports is not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on Boltless Steel Shelving Units Prepackaged for Sale from the PRC (A-570-018).

2. Commerce determined that Seville's products are outside the scope of the order because Seville's shoe and utility rack frames do not lock together for the structural integrity of the unit without the inclusion of the decking. Therefore, Seville's shoe and utility racks are not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on Boltless Steel Shelving Units Prepackaged for Sale from the PRC.

3. For all entries of boltless steel shelving not within scope that remain unliquidated on or after 04/01/2015, CBP shall terminate suspension and liquidate entries of product not within scope which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption.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 shoe and utility racks described above.

5. These instructions constitute notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of Boltless Steel Shelving Units Prepackaged for Sale not within scope entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 04/01/2015.

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.
