Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this
investigation consists of certain wind towers,
whether or not tapered, and sections thereof.
Certain wind towers support the nacelle and
rotor blades in a wind turbine with a
minimum rated electrical power generation
capacity in excess of 100 kilowatts and with
a minimum height of 50 meters measured
from the base of the tower to the bottom of
the nacelle (i.e., where the top of the tower
and nacelle are joined) when fully
assembled.
A wind tower section consists of, at a
minimum, multiple steel plates rolled into
cylindrical or conical shapes and welded
together (or otherwise attached) to form a
steel shell, regardless of coating, end-finish,
painting, treatment, or method of
manufacture, and with or without flanges,
doors, or internal or external components
(e.g., flooring/decking, ladders, lifts,
electrical buss boxes, electrical cabling,
conduit, cable harness for nacelle generator,
interior lighting, tool and storage lockers)
attached to the wind tower section. Several
wind tower sections are normally required to
form a completed wind tower.
Wind towers and sections thereof are
included within the scope whether or not
they are joined with nonsubject merchandise,
such as nacelles or rotor blades, and whether
or not they have internal or external
components attached to the subject
merchandise.
Specifically excluded from the scope are
nacelles and rotor blades, regardless of
whether they are attached to the wind tower.
Also excluded are any internal or external
components which are not attached to the
wind towers or sections thereof, unless those
components are shipped with the tower
sections.
Further, excluded from the scope of the
antidumping duty investigation are any
products covered by the existing
antidumping duty order on utility scale wind
towers from the Socialist Republic of
Vietnam. See Utility Scale Wind Towers from
the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Amended
Final Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Antidumping Duty Order, 78
FR 11150 (February 15, 2013).
Merchandise covered by this investigation
is currently classified in the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
under subheading 7308.20.0020 or
8502.31.0000. Wind towers of iron or steel
are classified under HTSUS 7308.20.0020
when imported separately as a tower or tower
section(s). Wind towers may be classified
under HTSUS 8502.31.0000 when imported
as combination goods with a wind turbine

(i.e., accompanying nacelles and/or rotor
blades). While the HTSUS subheadings are
provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the
scope of the investigation is dispositive.
