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 Asia Wheel Co., Ltd. Commerce issued a final scope determination on 04/11/2023, that Asia Wheel Co., Ltd.'s trailer wheels manufactured in Thailand using discs produced in Thailand from circular steel plates sourced from the People's Republic of China (China) or a third country and rims produced in Thailand from rectangular steel plates from China or a third country, which Asia Wheel Co., Ltd. exports from Thailand, are not within the scope of the countervailing duty order on certain steel wheels 12 to 16.5 inches in diameter from China (C-570-091). 2. Commerce determined that Asia Wheel Co., Ltd.'s trailer wheels manufactured in Thailand using discs produced in Thailand from circular steel plates from China or a third country and rims produced in Thailand from rectangular steel plates from China or a third country, which Asia Wheel Co., Ltd. exports from Thailand are outside the scope of the order based on the plain language of the scope because the Chinese steel plate components are neither finished or unfinished rims, discs, or steel wheels. Therefore, Asia Wheel Co., Ltd.'s trailer wheels manufactured in Thailand using discs produced in Thailand from circular steel plates from China or a third country and rims produced in Thailand from rectangular steel plates from China or a third country, which Asia Wheel Co., Ltd. exports from Thailand are not within the scope of the countervailing duty order on certain steel wheels 12 to 16.5 inches in diameter from China. 3. For all entries of Asia Wheel Co., Ltd.'s trailer wheels manufactured in Thailand using discs produced in Thailand from circular steel plates from China or a third country and rims produced in Thailand from rectangular steel plates from China or a third country, which Asia Wheel Co., Ltd. exports from Thailand not within scope that remain unliquidated on or after 02/25/2019 (the first date of suspension of liquidation in this proceeding), CBP shall terminate suspension and liquidate entries of product not within scope which were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption. 4.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 the Asia Wheel Co., Ltd.'s trailer wheels manufactured in Thailand using discs produced in Thailand from circular steel plates from China or a third country and rims produced in Thailand from rectangular steel plates from China or a third country, which Asia Wheel Co., Ltd. exports from Thailand described above. 5. These instructions constitute notice of the lifting of suspension of liquidation of entries of Asia Wheel Co., Ltd.'s trailer wheels manufactured in Thailand using discs produced in Thailand from circular steel plates from China or a third country and rims produced in Thailand from rectangular steel plates from China or a third country, which Asia Wheel Co., Ltd. exports from Thailand entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 02/25/2019. 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 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 certain steel wheels 12 to 16.5 inches in diameter from China not covered by paragraph 2 above, you shall continue to collect cash deposits of estimated countervailing duties for the merchandise at the current rates. 8. This instruction to liquidate entries covered by this message does not limit CBP's independent authority, including its authority to suspend, continue to suspend, or extend liquidation of entries addressed by this message. Accordingly, CBP should examine all entries for which this message directs liquidation to determine whether any such entries are subject to suspension, continued suspension, or extension of liquidation pursuant to CBP's independent authority (e.g., Enforce and Protect Act under section 517 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended). If entries of subject merchandise covered by this message are subject to suspension, continued suspension, or extension of liquidation pursuant to CBP's own authority, CBP port officials should follow CBP's internal procedures with respect to continuing any suspension, the lifting of suspension, and/or continuing any extension of liquidation for such entries. 9.

Certification Requirements for Importers and Exporters 9a. (i) For entries of Asia Wheel Co., Ltd.'s trailer wheels from Thailand entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 03/22/2021 (the date of initiation of this scope inquiry) for which the importer claims that Asia Wheel Co., Ltd.'s trailer wheels were completed in Thailand using the production method described in paragraph 1 above, the importer and exporter are required to meet the certification and documentation requirements detailed in the certification below in order for no suspension of liquidation and no cash deposit to be required for such entries. 9a.

(i) For entries of Asia Wheel Co., Ltd.'s trailer wheels from Thailand shipped and/or entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period 03/22/2021 through 04/10/2023, for which certifications are required, importers and exporters each have the option to complete: (a) a blanket certification covering multiple entries, (b) individual certifications for each entry, or (c) a combination thereof. Importer and Exporter certifications for these entries should be completed, signed, and dated no later than 05/26/2023 (within 45 days of signature of the final scope ruling). Accordingly, the relevant bullet in the certification should be edited to reflect that the certification was completed within this time frame. For example, the bullet in the importer certification that reads: "This certification was completed at or prior to the time of entry," could be edited as follows: "The shipments/products referenced herein entered before 04/11/2023. This certification was completed on mm/dd/yyyy, within 45 days of the issuance of the final scope ruling." Similarly, the bullet in the exporter certification that reads "This certification was completed at or prior to the time of shipment," could be edited as follows: "The shipments/products referenced herein shipped before 04/11/2023. This certification was completed on mm/dd/yyyy, within 45 days of the issuance of the final scope ruling." Additionally, the exporter must provide the importer a copy of the exporter certification within 45 days of the final determination issuance. 9b.

(iii) For unliquidated entries (and entries for which liquidation has not become final) of Asia Wheel Co., Ltd.'s trailer wheels from Thailand for which the importer and/or exporter is unable to meet the certification requirements, which entered as non-AD/CVD type entries (e.g., type 01), and that were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 03/22/2021, for which certifications are required, importers should file a Post Summary Correction with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in accordance with CBP's regulations, regarding conversion of such entries to AD/CVD type (i.e., types 03, 06, 34 and 38) entries and report those AD/CVD type entries using the third country case number C-549-091.
