11For purposes of these investigations, the 

Department of Commerce has defined the subject 

merchandise as: 

‘‘* * * Certain non-motorized tow behind lawn 

groomers (‘‘lawn groomers’’), manufactured from 

any material, and certain parts thereof. Lawn 

groomers are defined as lawn sweepers, aerators, 

dethatchers, and spreaders. Unless specifically 

excluded, lawn groomers that are designed to 

perform at least one of the functions listed above 

are included in the scope of these investigations, 

even if the lawn groomer is designed to perform 

additional non-subject functions (e.g., mowing). All 

lawn groomers are designed to incorporate a hitch, 

of any configuration, which allows the product to 

be towed behind a vehicle. Lawn groomers that are 

designed to incorporate both a hitch and a push 

handle, of any type, are also covered by the scope 

of these investigations. The hitch and handle may 

be permanently attached or removable, and they 

may be attached on opposite sides or on the same 

side of the lawn groomer. Lawn groomers designed 

to incorporate a hitch, but where the hitch is not 

attached to the lawn groomer, are also included in 

the scope of the investigations. Lawn sweepers 

consist of a frame, as well as a series of brushes 

attached to an axle or shaft which allows the 

brushing component to rotate. Lawn sweepers also 

include a container (which is a receptacle into 

which debris swept from the lawn or turf is 

deposited) supported by the frame. Aerators consist 

of a frame, as well as an aerating component that 

is attached to an axle or shaft which allows the 

aerating component to rotate. The aerating 

component is made up of a set of knives fixed to 

a plate (known as a ‘‘plug aerator’’), a series of discs 

with protruding spikes (a ‘‘spike aerator’’), or any 

other configuration, that are designed to create 

holes or cavities in a lawn or turf surface. 

Dethatchers consist of a frame, as well as a series 

of tines designed to remove material (e.g., dead 

grass or leaves) or other debris from the lawn or 

turf. The dethatcher tines are attached to and 

suspended from the frame. Lawn spreaders consist 

of a frame, as well as a hopper (i.e., a container of 

any size, shape, or material) that holds a media to 

be spread on the lawn or turf. The media can be 

distributed by means of a rotating spreader plate 

that broadcasts the media (‘‘broadcast spreader’’), a 

rotating agitator that allows the media to be released 

at a consistent rate (‘‘drop spreader’’), or any other 

configuration. Lawn dethatchers with a net fullyassembled weight (i.e., without packing, additional 

weights, or accessories) of 100 pounds or less are 

covered by the scope of the investigations. Other 

lawn groomers—sweepers, aerators, and 

spreaders—with a net fully-assembled weight (i.e., 

without packing, additional weights, or accessories) 

of 200 pounds or less are covered by the scope of 

the investigations. Also included in the scope of the 

investigations are modular units, consisting of a 

chassis that is designed to incorporate a hitch, 

where the hitch may or may not be included, which 

allows modules that perform sweeping, aerating, 

dethatching, or spreading operations to be 

interchanged. Modular units—when imported with 

one or more lawn grooming modules—with a fully 

assembled net weight (i.e., without packing, 

additional weights, or accessories) of 200 pounds or 

less when including a single module, are included 

in the scope of the investigations. Modular unit 

chasses, imported without a lawn grooming module 

and with a fully assembled net weight (i.e., without 

packing, additional weights, or accessories) of 125 

pounds or less, are also covered by the scope of the 

investigations. When imported separately, modules 

that are designed to perform subject lawn grooming 

functions (i.e., sweeping, aerating, dethatching, or 

spreading), with a fully assembled net weight (i.e., 

without packing, additional weights, or accessories) 

of 75 pounds or less, and that are imported with 

or without a hitch, are also covered by the scope. 

Lawn groomers, assembled or unassembled, are 

covered by these investigations. For purposes of 

these investigations, ‘‘unassembled lawn groomers’’ 

consist of either (1) all parts necessary to make a 

fully assembled lawn groomer, or (2) any 

combination of parts, constituting a less than 

complete, unassembled lawn groomer, with a 

minimum of two of the following ‘‘major 

components’’: 

(1) An assembled or unassembled brush housing 

designed to be used in a lawn sweeper, where a 

brush housing is defined as a component housing 

the brush assembly, and consisting of a wrapper 

which covers the brush assembly and two end 

plates attached to the wrapper; 

(2) a sweeper brush; 

(3) an aerator or dethatcher weight tray, or similar 

component designed to allow weights of any sort 

to be added to the unit; 

(4) a spreader hopper; 

(5) a rotating spreader plate or agitator, or other 

component designed for distributing media in a 

lawn spreader; 

(6) dethatcher tines; 

(7) aerator spikes, plugs, or other aerating 

component; or 

(8) a hitch. 

The major components or parts of lawn groomers 

that are individually covered by these 

investigations under the term ‘‘certain parts 

thereof’’ are: (1) Brush housings, where the wrapper 

and end plates incorporating the brush assembly 

may be individual pieces or a single piece; and (2) 

weight trays, or similar components designed to 

allow weights of any sort to be added to a 

dethatcher or an aerator unit. The products for 

which relief is sought specifically exclude the 

following: (1) Agricultural implements designed to 

work (e.g., churn, burrow, till, etc.) soil, such as 

cultivators, harrows, and plows; (2) lawn or farm 

carts and wagons that do not groom lawns; (3) 

grooming products incorporating a motor or an 

engine for the purpose of operating and/or 

propelling the lawn groomer; (4) lawn groomers that 

are designed to be hand held or are designed to be 

attached directly to the frame of a vehicle, rather 

than towed; (5) ‘‘push’’ lawn grooming products 

that incorporate a push handle rather than a hitch, 

and which are designed solely to be manually 

operated; (6) dethatchers with a net assembled 

weight (i.e., without packing, additional weights, or 

accessories) of more than 100 pounds, or lawn 

groomers-sweepers, aerators, and spreaders-with a 

net fully-assembled weight (i.e., without packing, 

additional weights, or accessories) of more than 200 

pounds; and (7) lawn rollers designed to flatten 

grass and turf, including lawn rollers which 

incorporate an aerator component (e.g., ‘‘drumstyle’’ spike aerators). The lawn groomers that are 

the subject of these investigations are currently 

classifiable in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (‘‘HTSUS’’) statistical reporting 

numbers 8432.40.0000, 8432.80.0000, 8432.80.0010, 

8432.90.0030, 8432.90.0080, 8479.89.9896, 

8479.89.9897, 8479.90.9496, and 9603.50.0000. 

These HTSUS provisions are given for reference 

and customs purposes only, and the description of 

merchandise is dispositive for determining the 

scope of the product included in these 

investigations.’’
