Final Scope Rulings
India
A-533-881 and C-533-882: Large Diameter Welded Pipe From India
Requestor: Ratnamani Metals & Tubes, Ltd (Ratnamani). The merchandise covered by these orders is welded carbon and alloy steel line pipe (other than stainless steel pipe), more than 406.4 mm (16 inches) in nominal outside diameter (large diameter welded line pipe), regardless of wall thickness, length, surface finish, grade, end finish, or stenciling. Large diameter welded line pipe is used to transport oil, gas, or natural gas liquids and is normally produced to the American Petroleum Institute (API) specification 5L. Large diameter welded line pipe can be produced to comparable foreign specifications, grades and/or standards or to proprietary specifications, grades and/or standards, or can be non-graded material. Large diameter welded line pipe produced by Ratnamani with an outer diameter exceeding 16 inches and meeting the specifications for ASTM grades A671, A672, and A691 meets the physical description of subject merchandise and is therefore within the scope of the orders: February 23, 2026.
Mexico
A-201-859: Mattresses From Mexico
Requestor: Bob Barker Company Inc. (Bob Barker). The products covered by the Order are all types of youth and adult mattresses. The term “mattress” denotes an assembly of materials that at a minimum includes a “core,” which provides the main support system of the mattress, and may consist of innersprings, foam, other resilient filling, or a combination of these materials. Commerce found that Bob Barker's product is a U.S.-origin mattress core that is not substantially transformed when assembled with a cover in Mexico. Therefore, because Bob Barker's product did not undergo substantial transformation in Mexico, we find that they have a country of origin of the United States and are outside of the scope of the order: March 10, 2026.
People's Republic of China (China)
A-570-967 and C-570-968: Aluminum Extrusions From China
Requestor: HTM MBS LLC. The wall standoffs and components thereof (wall
( printed page 25857)
standoffs) imported by HTM MBS LLC (MBS) are covered by the scope of the antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders on aluminum extrusions from China because they are composed of 6xxx-series aluminum extrusion components that are fabricated through processes expressly included in the antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders (
e.g.,
machining, threading, and anodizing): March 24, 2026.
A-570-129 and C-570-130: Certain Walk-Behind Lawn Mowers and Parts Thereof from China
Requestor: Daye North America, Inc. (DNA). DNA's walk-behind lawn mowers, assembled in Thailand using U.S.-origin engines and Chinese-origin cutting deck shells, as described, are excluded from the scope of the orders because the plain language of the scope requires that the engine and cutting deck shell be attached to one another in China, and that attachment of inquiry merchandise occurs in Thailand: January 29, 2026.
A-570-067 and C-570-068: Forged Steel Fittings From China
Requestor: AGS Company Automotive Solutions (AGS). Brake hose fittings imported by AGS are not covered by the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on forged steel fittings from China because the inquiry merchandise is substantially similar to previously excluded fittings used to convey noncorrosive fluid through a machine that powers pumps, motors, and engines, rather than corrosive materials: January 28, 2026.
Poland
A-455-807: Mattresses From Poland
Requestor: EBI, LLC (EBI). The scope of the order states that the term “mattress” denotes an assembly of materials that at a minimum includes a “core.” The mattress covers imported by EBI do not contain a core consisting of “innersprings, foam, other resilient filling or a combination of these materials;” therefore, the mattress covers do not fall within scope of the order: January 28, 2026.
