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 Innovative Outdoor Solutions, Inc. (IOS). Commerce issued a final scope determination on 06/09/2017 that the Cushioned Bracket Seat Kits which IOS imports are not within the scope of the countervailing duty order on aluminum extrusions from the PRC (C-570-968).

2. Commerce determined that IOS's Cushioned Bracket Seat Kits (including the “Small,” “Medium,” and “Magnum” models, item 200381, and the “Large” model, item 200374) are outside the scope of the order because the imported kits constitute complete kits which are a packaged combination of goods at the time of importation, and include all of the necessary parts to form a complete product. These kits also include non-aluminum parts which are beyond mere fasteners. Therefore, IOS's Cushioned Bracket Seat Kits (item numbers indicated above) are not within the scope of the countervailing duty order on aluminum extrusions from the PRC.

3. For all entries of IOS's Cushioned Bracket Seat Kits not within scope that remain unliquidated on or after 09/07/2010, CBP shall terminate suspension and liquidate entries of product not within scope which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption.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 IOS's Cushioned Bracket Seat Kits described above.

5. These instructions constitute notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of IOS's Cushioned Bracket Seat Kits entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 09/07/2010.

6. The assessment of 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 countervailing duties. The interest provisions are not applicable to cash or bonds posted as estimated countervailing duties before the date of publication of the countervailing duty order. Interest shall be calculated from the date payment of estimated 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. Unless instructed otherwise, for all other shipments of aluminum extrusions from the PRC not covered by paragraph 2 above, you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties for the merchandise at the current rates.
