1. Commerce received a scope ruling request from Commercial Honing LLC dba Commercial Fluid Power (Commercial Honing). Commerce issued a final scope determination on 05/16/2017 that Commercial Honing's ten varieties of mechanical tubing which Commercial Honing imports are not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line, and pressure pipe from the People's Republic of China (A-570-956).

2. Commerce determined that Commercial Honing's mechanical tubing products are outside the scope of the order because the products meet the exclusion specified in the description of the scope of the order. The order excludes all mechanical, boiler, condenser, and heat exchange tubing, that does not meet the dimensional requirements of ASTM A-53, ASTM A-106, or API 5L. Commercial Honing's ten varieties of mechanical tubing, are classified as ASTM A-519 mechanical tubing and therefore do not meet the dimensional requirements of ASTM A-53, ASTM A-106, or API 5L. As a result, they meet the definition of the exclusion specified in the scope. Therefore, Commercial Honing's mechanical tubing products are not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line, and pressure pipe from the People's Republic of China.

3. For all entries of Commercial Honing's mechanical tubing meeting the ASTM A-519 specifications not within scope that remain unliquidated on or after 04/28/2010, CBP shall terminate suspension and liquidate entries of product not within scope which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption.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 and release any bonds relating to Commercial Honing's mechanical tubing meeting the ASTM A-519 specifications not within the scope described above.

5. These instructions constitute notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of Commercial Honing's mechanical tubing meeting the ASTM A-519 specifications not within scope entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 04/28/2010.

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 countervailing 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 Commercial Honing's mechanical tubing 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.
