RE: SCOPE RULING ON ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER ON FRESH AND
CHILLED ATLANTIC SALMON FROM NORWAY (A-403-801)


1. ON 08/05/2009, IN RESPONSE TO A REQUEST BY CHANGING SEAS,
COMMERCE ISSUED A FINAL SCOPE RULING THAT WHOLE SALMON STEAKS
AND WHOLE SALMON ROASTS ARE WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE ANTIDUMPING
DUTY ORDER COVERING FRESH AND CHILLED ATLANTIC SALMON FROM
NORWAY (A-403-801).

2. BECAUSE THE IMPORTED WHOLE SALMON STEAKS AND WHOLE SALMON
ROASTS AT ISSUE ARE NOT DISTINCT FROM FRESH AND CHILLED
ATLANTIC SALMON COVERED UNDER THE SCOPE OF THE ANTIDUMPING AND
COUNTERVAILING DUTY ORDERS IN TERMS OF PHYSICAL
CHARACTERISTICS, EXPECTATIONS OF THE ULTIMATE PURCHASERS,
ULTIMATE USE OF THE PRODUCT, CHANNELS OF TRADE IN WHICH THE
PRODUCT IS SOLD, AND THE MANNER IN WHICH THE PRODUCT IS
ADVERTISED AND DISPLAYED, COMMERCE FOUND WHOLE SALMON STEAKS
AND WHOLE SALMON ROASTS TO BE WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THE ORDER.

3. CONTINUE TO SUSPEND LIQUIDATION OF ENTRIES OF FRESH AND
CHILLED ATLANTIC SALMON FROM NORWAY, INCLUDING CHANGING SEAS'
WHOLE SALMON STEAKS AND WHOLE SALMON ROASTS DISCUSSED ABOVE,
SUBJECT TO THE ANTIDUMPING DUTY ORDER COVERING FRESH AND
