1. Commerce received a scope ruling request from Val-Fit, Inc. Commerce issued a preliminary scope determination on 11/30/2016 that dual-size reducing carbon steel butt-weld pipe fittings which Val-Fit, Inc. imports are not within the scope of the antidumping duty order on Certain Carbon Steel Butt-Weld Pipe Fittings from the People's Republic of China

2. Commerce preliminarily determined that Val-Fit, Inc.'s dual-size reducing carbon steel butt-weld pipe fittings, which have an inside diameter larger than 14 inches, are outside the scope of the order because the plain language of the scope does not cover butt-weld pipe fittings that have an inside diameter larger than 14 inches.

3. In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(l)(2), effective 12/26/1991, CBP shall terminate suspension and liquidate all unliquidated entries entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption of Val-Fit, Inc.'s dual-size reducing carbon steel butt-weld pipe fittings, described in paragraph 2.

4. Refund any cash deposits and release any bonds relating to Val-Fit, Inc.'s dual-size reducing carbon steel butt-weld pipe fittings described in paragraph 2.

6. The assessment of antidumping 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 antidumping duties. The interest provisions are not applicable to cash or bonds posted as estimated antidumping duties before the date of publication of the antidumping duty order.
