Appendix 

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this order is 

softwood lumber, siding, flooring and certain 

other coniferous wood (softwood lumber 

products). The scope includes: 

• Coniferous wood, sawn, or chipped 

lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or not 

planed, whether or not sanded, or whether or 

not finger-jointed, of an actual thickness 

exceeding six millimeters. 

• Coniferous wood siding, flooring, and 

other coniferous wood (other than moldings 

and dowel rods), including strips and friezes 

for parquet flooring, that is continuously 

shaped (including, but not limited to, 

tongued, grooved, rebated, chamfered, Vjointed, beaded, molded, rounded) along any 

of its edges, ends, or faces, whether or not 

planed, whether or not sanded, or whether or 

not end-jointed. 

• Coniferous drilled and notched lumber 

and angle cut lumber. 

• Coniferous lumber stacked on edge and 

fastened together with nails, whether or not 

with plywood sheathing. 

• Components or parts of semi-finished or 

unassembled finished products made from 

subject merchandise that would otherwise 

meet the definition of the scope above. 

Finished products are not covered by the 

scope of this investigation. For the purposes 

of this scope, finished products contain, or 

are comprised of, subject merchandise and 

have undergone sufficient processing such 

that they can no longer be considered 

intermediate products, and such products 

can be readily differentiated from 

merchandise subject to this investigation at 

the time of importation. Such differentiation 

may, for example, be shown through marks 

of special adaptation as a particular product. 

The following products are illustrative of the 

type of merchandise that is considered 

‘‘finished’’ for the purpose of this scope: Ijoists; assembled pallets; cutting boards; 

assembled picture frames; garage doors. 

The following items are excluded from the 

scope of this investigation: 

• Softwood lumber products certified by 

the Atlantic Lumber Board as being first 

produced in the Provinces of Newfoundland 

and Labrador, Nova Scotia, or Prince Edward 

Island from logs harvested in Newfoundland 

and Labrador, Nova Scotia, or Prince Edward 

Island. 

• U.S.-origin lumber shipped to Canada for 

processing and imported into the United 

States if the processing occurring in Canada 

is limited to one or more of the following: (1) 

Kiln drying; (2) planing to create smooth-tosize board; or (3) sanding. 

• Box-spring frame kits if they contain the 

following wooden pieces—two side rails, two 

end (or top) rails and varying numbers of 

slats. The side rails and the end rails must 

be radius-cut at both ends. The kits must be 

individually packaged and must contain the 

exact number of wooden components needed 

to make a particular box-spring frame, with 

no further processing required. None of the 

components exceeds 1’’ in actual thickness or 

83’’ in length. 

• Radius-cut box-spring-frame 

components, not exceeding 1’’ in actual 

thickness or 83’’ in length, ready for 

assembly without further processing. The 

radius cuts must be present on both ends of 

the boards and must be substantially cut so 

as to completely round one corner. 

Softwood lumber product imports are 

generally entered under Chapter 44 of the 

Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 

States (HTSUS). This chapter of the HTSUS 

covers ‘‘Wood and articles of wood.’’

this investigation are currently classifiable

components, fence pickets, truss 

components, pallet components, flooring, 

and door and window frame parts. Items so 

identified might be entered under the

carbon and alloy steel (cold-drawn 

mechanical tubing) from the People’s

respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On November 22, 2017, Commerce 

published the Preliminary 

Determination.1 On November 24, 2017, 

Commerce disclosed to interested 

parties its calculations for the 

Preliminary Determination. On 

November 27, 2017, Commerce 

extended the period to submit 

ministerial error comments to December 

1, 2017.2 On December 1, 2017, 

Zhangjiagang Huacheng Import & Export 

Co., Ltd. (Huacheng) alleged certain 

ministerial errors in the Preliminary 

Determination.3 Commerce did not 

receive ministerial error allegations 

from any other interested party. 

Period of Investigation 

The period of investigation is October 

1, 2016, through March 31, 2017. 

Scope of the Investigation 

This investigation covers cold-drawn 

mechanical tubing from China. Since 

the publication of the Preliminary 

Determination and preliminary scope 

language contained therein, Commerce 

has evaluated relevant comments and 

issued its Final Scope Determination 

Memorandum.4 For a complete 

description of the final scope of this 

investigation, see the Appendix to this 

notice. 

Analysis of Significant Ministerial 

Error Allegation 

Commerce will analyze any 

comments received and, if appropriate, 

correct any significant ministerial error 

by amending the preliminary 

determination according to 19 CFR 

351.224(e). A ministerial error is 

defined in 19 CFR 351.224(f) as ‘‘an 

error in addition, subtraction, or other 

arithmetic function, clerical error 

resulting from inaccurate copying, 

duplication, or the like, and any other 

similar type of unintentional error 

which the Secretary considers 

ministerial.’’ 5 A significant ministerial 

error is defined as an error, the 

correction of which, singly or in 

combination with other errors, would 

result in: (1) A change of at least five 

absolute percentage points in, but not 

less than 25 percent of, the antidumping 

duty rate calculated in the original 

(erroneous) preliminary determination; 

or (2) a difference between an 

antidumping duty rate of zero (or de 

minimis) and an antidumping duty rate 

of greater than de minimis or vice 

versa.6

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.224(e) and 

(g)(1), Commerce is amending the 

Preliminary Determination to reflect the 

correction of four ministerial errors 

made in the calculation of the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

Huacheng.7 These errors are significant 

ministerial errors within the meaning of 

19 CFR 351.224(g) because Huacheng’s 

margin decreases from 61.59 percent to 

24.30 percent as a result of correcting 

these ministerial errors, exceeding the 

specified threshold, i.e., a change of at 

least five absolute percentage points in, 

but not less than 25 percent of, the 

antidumping duty rate calculated in the 

original (erroneous) preliminary 

determination.8

Huacheng is the only mandatory 

respondent for which Commerce 

calculated a weighted-average dumping 

margin. For this reason, we assigned 

Huacheng’s calculated rate to the nonexamined respondents that 

preliminarily received a separate rate. 

As part of this amended preliminary 

determination, Commerce will 

accordingly amend the estimated 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

each non-examined respondent that 

preliminarily received a separate rate to 

24.30 percent.
