SUMMARY: In response to a request from
Air Master Awning LLC (Air Master),
the Department of Commerce
(Commerce) is initiating anticircumvention inquiries to determine
whether imports of aluminum jalousie
shutters that are processed in the
Dominican Republic from window
frame extrusions produced in the
People’s Republic of China (China), are
circumventing the antidumping duty
(AD) and countervailing duty (CVD)
orders on aluminum extrusions from
China. We are also self-initiating scope
inquiries to determine whether the
aluminum jalousie shutters are subject
to the AD and CVD orders.
DATES: Applicable May 6, 2019.

from China, which were published in
the Federal Register on May 26, 2011.3
On September 25, 2018, pursuant to
section 781(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR
351.225(h), Air Master requested that
Commerce initiate anti-circumvention
inquiries on imports of aluminum
jalousie shutters completed or
assembled in the Dominican Republic
using window frame extrusions sourced
from China that are subject to the
Orders.4 Air Master alleges that the
completion/assembly of the aluminum
jalousie shutters constitutes a ‘‘minor
alteration,’’ within the meaning of
781(c) of the Act.5 Further, pursuant to
19 CFR 351.225(f), Air Master requested
that Commerce issue preliminary
determinations of circumvention of the
Orders concurrently with the initiation,
to suspend liquidation of imports of
aluminum jalousie shutters from the
Dominican Republic.6 Air Master
submitted supplements to its request in
October and December 2018.7
Separately, Commerce issued a
supplemental questionnaire to Air
Master on February 11, 2019,8 to which
Air Master responded on February 19,
2019.9

Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order, 76 FR
30650 (May 26, 2011); and Aluminum Extrusions
from the People’s Republic of China: Countervailing
Duty Order, 76 FR 30653 (May 26, 2011)
(collectively, the Orders).
4 See Air Master Letter, ‘‘Aluminum Extrusions
from the People’s Republic of China, A–570–967
and C–570–968; Request for Circumvention Ruling
Pursuant to Section 781(c) of the Tariff Act of
1930,’’ dated September 25, 2018 (AntiCircumvention Ruling Request).
5 Id. at 2. We note that Air Master’s AntiCircumvention Ruling Request alleges that the
assembly of the aluminum jalousie shutters in the
Dominican Republic represents a minor alteration
within the meaning of section 781(c) of the Act.
Because section 781(b) of the Act relates to
‘‘merchandise completed or assembled in other
foreign countries,’’ and section 781(c) of the Act
relates to ‘‘minor alterations of merchandise,’’ we
are initiating anti-circumvention inquiries under
both 781(b) and (c) of the Act.
6 Id. at 2 and 19.
