hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a violation which is subject to 

sanction.

uncolored, white, colored, or printed. Printed 

paper plates subject to this investigation may 

have any type of surface finish, and may be 

printed by any means with images, text and/ 

or colors on one or both surfaces. Colored

other substances adhered to their surface, 

and/or may be uncoated or coated with any 

type of coating. 

The paper plates subject to this 

investigation remain covered by the scope of 

this investigation whether imported alone, or 

in any combination of subject and nonsubject merchandise. When paper plates 

subject to this investigation are imported in 

combination with non-subject merchandise, 

only the paper plates subject to this 

investigation are subject merchandise. 

The paper plates subject to this 

investigation include paper plates matching 

the above description that have been 

finished, packaged, or otherwise processed in 

a third country by performing finishing, 

packaging, or processing that would not 

otherwise remove the merchandise from the 

scope of the investigation if performed in the 

country of manufacture of the paper plates. 

Examples of finishing, packaging, or other 

processing in a third country that would not 

otherwise remove the merchandise from the 

scope of the investigation if performed in the 

country of manufacture of the paper plates 

include, but are not limited to, printing, 

application of other surface treatments such 

as coatings, repackaging, embossing, and 

application of foil surface treatments. 

Excluded from the scope of this 

investigation are paper plates molded or 

pressed directly from paper pulp (including 

but not limited to unfelted pulp), which are 

currently classifiable under subheading 

4823.70.0020 of the Harmonized Tariff 

Schedule of the United States (HTSUS). 

Also excluded from the scope of this 

investigation are articles that otherwise 

would be covered but which exhibit the 

following two physical characteristics: (a) 

depth (measured vertically from the base to 

the top of the lip, or edge if no lip) equal to 

or greater than 1.25 inches but less than two 

(2.0) inches, and (b) a base not exceeding five 

(5.0) inches in diameter if round, or not 

exceeding 20 square inches in area if any 

other shape.

also may be classified under HTSUS 

subheadings 9505.90.4000 and 9505.90.6000. 

While the HTSUS subheading(s) are provided 

for convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the subject
