Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this
investigation is laminated woven sacks.
Laminated woven sacks are bags consisting of
one or more plies of fabric consisting of
woven polypropylene strip and/or woven
polyethylene strip, regardless of the width of
the strip; with or without an extrusion
coating of polypropylene and/or
polyethylene on one or both sides of the
fabric; laminated by any method either to an
exterior ply of plastic film such as biaxiallyoriented polypropylene (BOPP), polyester
(PET), polyethylene (PE), nylon, or any film
suitable for printing, or to an exterior ply of
paper; printed; displaying, containing, or
comprising three or more visible colors (e.g.,
laminated woven sacks printed with three
different shades of blue would be covered by
the scope), not including the color of the
woven fabric; regardless of the type of
printing process used; with or without lining;
with or without handles; with or without
special closing features (including, but not
limited to, closures that are sewn, glued,
easy-open (e.g., tape or thread), re-closable
(e.g., slider, hook and loop, zipper), hotwelded, adhesive-welded, or press-to-close);
whether finished or unfinished (e.g., whether
or not closed on one end and whether or not
in roll form, including, but not limited to,
sheets, lay-flat, or formed in tubes); not
exceeding one kilogram in actual weight.
Laminated woven sacks produced in the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam are subject to
the scope regardless of the country of origin
of the fabric used to make the sack.
Subject laminated woven sacks are
currently classifiable under Harmonized

Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
subheading 6305.33.0040. If entered with
plastic coating on both sides of the fabric
consisting of woven polypropylene strip and/
or woven polyethylene strip, laminated
woven sacks may be classifiable under
HTSUS subheadings 3923.21.0080,
3923.21.0095, and 3923.29.0000. If entered
not closed on one end or in roll form
(including, but not limited to, sheets, lay-flat
tubing, and sleeves), laminated woven sacks
may be classifiable under other HTSUS
subheadings, including 3917.39.0050,
3921.90.1100, 3921.90.1500, and
5903.90.2500. If the polypropylene strips
and/or polyethylene strips making up the
fabric measure more than 5 millimeters in
width, laminated woven sacks may be
classifiable under other HTSUS subheadings
including 4601.99.0500, 4601.99.9000, and
4602.90.0000. Although HTSUS subheadings
are provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope is dispositive.

None received. Decision: Approved. We
know of no instruments of equivalent
scientific value to the foreign
instruments described below, for such
purposes as this is intended to be used,
that was being manufactured in the
United States at the time of order.
Reasons: The instrument will be used to
support the fabrication of devices
comprised primarily of both
commercially available and in house
developed UV curable polymers.
Biomaterials and other biopolymers that
have been specifically designed to be
cured using a radical polymerization
process will also be investigated in this
device. Any polymer or biomaterial that
can be ablated using the wavelength and
power available in the Nano scribe
system will also be used for subtractive
manufacturing.

know of no instruments of equivalent
scientific value to the foreign
instruments described below, for such
purposes as this is intended to be used,
that was being manufactured in the
United States at the time of order.
Reasons: The instrument will be used
for a multitude of techniques across
disciplines ranging from biology to
materials science, chemical engineering
and bioengineering. Techniques like
thermoplastic and hydrogel extrusion,
3D printing, 2-component printing, cellbioprinting, electrospinning/direct write
electrospinning, drug/factor
encapsulation.

received. Decision: Approved. We know
of no instruments of equivalent
scientific value to the foreign
instruments described below, for such
purposes as this is intended to be used,
that was being manufactured in the
United States at the time of order.
Reasons: The instrument will be used
for research use only to study several
Gram-negative and Gram-positive
bacterial pathogens. Use of this optical
screening instrument, will be
developing and evaluating an automated
antimicrobial susceptibility test for
bacterial pathogens based on time-lapse
imaging of cells incubating in broth

microdilution drug panels. Experiments
to be conducted include growth
assessment of these bacterial pathogens
in the presence and absence of clinically
relevant antibiotics. The antibiotics
selected for our studies are those
recommended by the Clinical and
Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) for
primary testing. The objectives of the
investigations are to more rapidly
determine antimicrobial susceptibility
of bacterial pathogens. Currently, the
gold-standard method for antimicrobial
susceptibility testing requires 16–20 or
24–48 hours, depending on the species.
The techniques required to perform
these experiments include inoculation
of a testing drug panel with a bacterial
suspension and assessing susceptibly by
optical screening. The research
conducted using this instrument may
substantially reduce the time required to
make an informed therapeutic decision.
Docket Number: 18–003. Applicant:
University of Virginia, Charlottesville,
VA 22903. Instrument: Superconducting
Magnet System. Manufacturer:
Cryogenic Ltd., United Kingdom.
Intended Use: See notice at 83 FR31120,
July 3, 2018. Comments: None received.
Decision: Approved. We know of no
instruments of equivalent scientific
value to the foreign instruments
described below, for such purposes as
this is intended to be used, that was
being manufactured in the United States
at the time of order. Reasons: The
instrument will be used to study the
beta decay of neutrons. Neutrons are
elementary constituents of any matter in
our universe. The experiments require
measuring the kinetic energies of
electrons and protons, two of the
particles that are produced in neutron
decay. The Nab spectrometer is to
extract the neutrino-electron correlation
coefficient ‘‘a’’ and the Fires term ‘‘b’’
which describes the dynamic properties
of the decay particles; the results test
our understanding of the Standard
Model of Elementary Particle Physics.
The Nab spectrometer, electrons and
protons are guided by the magnetic
field, produced by the magnet system
that we are importing. Electrons and
protons eventually reach detectors. The
detectors allow us to determine the
kinetic energies of both particles,
respectively.
