The banner stands excluded from the scope pursuant to this scope ruling are banner stands that contain, upon importation, non-aluminum extrusion components beyond mere fasteners. Such non-aluminum parts that go beyond mere fasteners include steel side plates and steel end caps, which are structural components of the stand's base.

The banner stands require no re-sorting or re-packaging of components upon importation, nor do they require further finishing or fabrication prior to use. Furthermore, the banner stands need not come with a banner in the kit. Therefore, Lockfast Inc.'s banner stands are not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China.
