Harmony With Final Scope Ruling and 

Notice of Amended Final Scope Ruling

SUMMARY: On October 2, 2024, the U.S. 

Court of International Trade (CIT) 

issued its final judgment in Zhejiang 

Amerisun Technology Co., Ltd. v. 

United States, Court No. 23–00011, 

sustaining the U.S. Department of 

Commerce’s (Commerce) remand 

redetermination pertaining to the scope 

ruling for the antidumping and 

countervailing duty orders on certain 

vertical shaft engines between 99cc and 

up to 225cc and parts thereof from the 

People’s Republic of China finding 

modified vertical shaft engines, such as 

the modified R210–S engine 

manufactured by Chongqing Rato 

Technology Co., Ltd. (Chongqing Rato) 

to be excluded from the orders. 

Commerce is notifying the public that 

the CIT’s final judgment is not in 

harmony with Commerce’s scope ruling, 

and that Commerce is amending the 

scope ruling to find that certain engines, 

such as Chongqing Rato’s R210–S 

engine, manufactured by Chongqing 

Rato is excluded from the orders.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On December 22, 2022, Commerce 

found that modified vertical shaft 

engines, such as the R210–S engine 

manufactured by Chongqing Rato, were 

included in the scope of the orders.1

Zhejiang Amerisun Technology, Co., 

Ltd. appealed Commerce’s Final Scope 

Ruling. On February 20, 2024, the CIT 

remanded the Final Scope Ruling to 

Commerce, holding that: (1) because the 

scope does not specify that a right-angle 

gearbox connected to the horizontal 

crankshaft may be part of the engine, 

Commerce’s finding that the scope did 

not contain an exhaustive list of 

components that may comprise an 

engine was unsupported by substantial 

evidence and not in accordance with 

law; (2) the Wikipedia articles 

submitted by Briggs & Stratton 

Corporation (the petitioner) on which 

Commerce relied to support its factual 

conclusions were unreliable and 

irrelevant; and (3) an academic article 

submitted by the petitioner on which 

Commerce also relied to support its 

factual conclusions was irrelevant 

because it did not specifically address 

walk-behind lawn mowers or discuss 

secondary drive shafts.2

In its final remand redetermination, 

issued in April 2024, Commerce found 

that certain engines, such as Chongqing 

Rato’s R210–S engine at issue in the 

Final Scope Ruling to be excluded from 

the scope of the orders.3 The CIT 

sustained Commerce’s final 

redetermination.4

Timken Notice 

In its decision in Timken,5 as clarified 

by Diamond Sawblades,6 the U.S. Court 

of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held 

that, pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act), Commerce must publish a 

notice of court decision that is not ‘‘in 

harmony’’ with a Commerce 

determination and must suspend 

liquidation of entries pending a

1See section 771(5)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, 

as amended. 

‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s 

October 2, 2024, judgment constitutes a 

final decision of the CIT that is not in 

harmony with Commerce’s Final Scope 

Ruling. Thus, this notice is published in 

fulfillment of the publication 

requirements of Timken. 

Amended Final Scope Ruling 

In accordance with the CIT’s October 

2, 2024, final judgment, Commerce is 

amending its Final Scope Ruling and 

finds that the scope of the orders does 

not cover the products addressed in the 

Final Scope Ruling. 

Liquidation of Suspended Entries 

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) that, 

pending any appeals, the cash deposit 

rate will be zero percent for the 

modified R210–S engine manufactured 

by Chongqing Rato. In the event that the 

CIT’s final judgment is not appealed or 

is upheld on appeal, Commerce will 

instruct CBP to liquidate entries of the 

modified R210–S engine manufactured 

by Chongqing Rato without regard to 

antidumping and countervailing duties 

and to lift suspension of liquidation of 

such entries. 

At this time, Commerce remains 

enjoined by CIT from liquidating entries 

excluded from the scope of the orders 

by the Final Scope Ruling. These entries 

will remain enjoined pursuant to the 

terms of the injunction during the 

pendency of any appeals process. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 516A(c) and 

(e) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) seeks public 

comment on any subsidies, including

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Pursuant to section 805 of title VIII of 

the Tariff Act of 1930 (the Softwood 

Lumber Act of 2008), the Secretary of 

Commerce is mandated to submit to the 

appropriate Congressional committees a 

report every 180 days on any subsidy 

provided by countries exporting 

softwood lumber or softwood lumber 

products to the United States, including 

stumpage subsidies. Commerce 

submitted its last subsidy report to the 

Congress on June 27, 2024. 

Request for Comments 

Given the large number of countries 

that export softwood lumber and 

softwood lumber products to the United 

States, we are soliciting public comment 

only on subsidies provided by countries 

which had exports accounting for at 

least one percent of total U.S. imports of 

softwood lumber by quantity, as 

classified under Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheadings 4407.1100, 4407.1200, 

4407.1300, 4407.1400, and 4407.1900, 

during the period January 1, 2024, 

through June 30, 2024. Official U.S. 

import data, published by the United 

States International Trade Commission’s 

DataWeb, indicate that five countries 

(Austria, Brazil, Canada, Germany, and 

Sweden) exported softwood lumber to 

the United States during that time 

period in amounts sufficient to account 

for at least one percent of U.S. imports 

of softwood lumber products. We intend 

to rely on similar six-month periods to 

identify the countries subject to future 

reports on softwood lumber subsidies. 

For example, we intend to rely on U.S. 

imports of softwood lumber and 

softwood lumber products during the 

period July 1, 2024, through December 

31, 2024, to select the countries subject 

for the next report. 

Under U.S. trade law, a subsidy exists 

where an authority: (i) provides a 

financial contribution; (ii) provides any 

form of income or price support within 

the meaning of Article XVI of the 

General Agreements on Tariffs and 

Trade 1994; or (iii) makes a payment to 

a funding mechanism to provide a 

financial contribution to a person, or 

entrusts or directs a private entity to 

make a financial contribution, if 

providing the contribution would 

normally be vested in the government 

and the practice does not differ in 

substance from practices normally 

followed by governments, and a benefit 

is thereby conferred.1

Parties should include in their 

comments: (1) the country which 

provided the subsidy; (2) the name of 

the subsidy program; (3) a brief 

description (no more than 3–4 

sentences) of the subsidy program; and 

(4) the government body or authority 

that provided the subsidy.
