1.
Commerce received a scope ruling request from PCS Company.
Commerce issued a final scope determination on 10/11/2017 that PCS Company's preconfigured parts for mold bases used in plastic injection molding machines which PCS Company imports are not within the scope of the antidumping duty orders on certain carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of South Africa, Taiwan, and Turkey (A-475-834; A-588-875; A-580-887; A-791-822; A-583-858; A-489-828).
2.
Commerce determined that PCS Company's preconfigured parts for mold bases used in plastic injection molding machines are outside the scope of the orders because the totality of the further processing results in a downstream product that was not intended to be covered by the scope of the orders.
Therefore, PCS Company's preconfigured parts for mold bases used in plastic injection molding machines are not within the scope of the antidumping duty orders on certain carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length plate from Italy, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of South Africa, Taiwan, and Turkey.

4.
Refund any cash deposits relating to PCS Company's preconfigured parts for mold bases used in plastic injection molding machines described above.
