Scope Ruling Applications
Raw Flexible Magnets from the

Mexico with magnetic band sourced
from either Germany or China; 2
submitted by REHAU Industries, LLC
(REHAU); February 4, 2022; ACCESS
scope segments ‘‘Door Gasket.’’
1 See Regulations to Improve Administration and
Enforcement of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Laws, 86 FR 52300, 52316 (September 20,
2021) (Final Rule) (‘‘It is our expectation that the
Federal Register list will include, where
appropriate, for each scope application the
following data: (1) Identification of the AD and/or
CVD orders at issue; (2) a concise public summary
of the product’s description, including the physical
characteristics (including chemical, dimensional
and technical characteristics) of the product; (3) the
country(ies) where the product is produced and the
country from where the product is exported; (4) the
full name of the applicant; and (5) the date that the
scope application was filed with Commerce.’’)
2 REHAU’s product is a refrigerator door gasket
with magnetic band. It is an extruded PVC gasket
incorporating a flexible magnetic band inside the
gasket. The PVC gasket contains a pocket which
encases the magnetic band. The magnetic band is
not permanently affixed to the PVC gasket by an
adhesive, a heat process, or pressure. The gasket is
designed to be used on a specific model of
refrigerator. The gasket is affixed to the door of
refrigerator to prevent the loss of cold air from the
refrigerator. The PVC gasket performs this primary
function and the magnetic band provides an
additional sealing force when the refrigerator door
is closed.
The subject product is manufactured in Mexico
with magnetic band that is sourced from either
Germany or China. In Mexico, the PVC gasket is
extruded in the shape and size of the refrigerator
for which it is designed. The incorporation of the
magnetic band takes place in Mexico. The
refrigerator door gasket with magnetic band is
properly classified in the HTSUS subheading
8418.99.80, which provides for, ‘‘Refrigerators,
freezers and other refrigerating or freezing
equipment, electric or other; heat pumps, other than
the air conditioning machines of heading 8415;

This list of scope ruling applications
is not an identification of scope
inquiries that have been initiated. In
accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(d)(1),
if Commerce has not rejected a scope
ruling application nor initiated the
scope inquiry within 30 days after the
filing of the application, the application
will be deemed accepted and a scope
inquiry will be deemed initiated the
following day—day 31.4 Commerce’s
practice generally dictates that where a
deadline falls on a weekend, Federal
holiday, or other non-business day, the
appropriate deadline is the next
business day.5 Accordingly, if the 30th
day after the filing of the application
falls on a non-business day, the next
business day will be considered the
‘‘updated’’ 30th day, and if the
application is not rejected or a scope
inquiry initiated by or on that particular
business day, the application will be
deemed accepted and a scope inquiry
will be deemed initiated on the next
3 Texas Tire’s wheel caps are country of origin
China as they are wholly produced in China. They
are then exported from China directly to the United
States. At entry, the wheel caps are classified under
the HTSUS subheading 8716.90.5060.
Subsequent to their importation, they will be
installed onto wheels for use on marine trailers,
utility trailers, and recreational vehicles. The wheel
caps themselves are stainless steel decorative discs
that cover the central portion of the wheel. They
may keep dirt away from the spindle nut and wheel
bearings or to hide the lug nuts, and/or the bearing.
They are not a functional part of a vehicle chassis.
There are two varieties of substantially similar
wheel cap at issue. The first is a single piece cap
composed of stainless steel. The second is a twopiece cap which includes the stainless-steel main
cap component and a small plastic cap that clips
onto the front end of the steel cap. The plastic cap
can be removed so that a technician may better
access and lubricate the axle. Both varieties are
utilized only for marine trailers, utility trailers, and
recreational vehicles.
4 In accordance with 19 CFR 351.225(d)(2), within
30 days after the filing of a scope ruling application,
if Commerce determines that it intends to address
the scope issue raised in the application in another
segment of the proceeding (such as a circumvention
inquiry under 19 CFR 351.226 or a covered
merchandise inquiry under 19 CFR 351.227), it will
notify the applicant that it will not initiate a scope
inquiry, but will instead determine if the product
is covered by the scope at issue in that alternative
segment.

‘‘updated’’ 30th day.6
In accordance with 19 CFR
351.225(m)(2), if there are companion
AD and CVD orders covering the same
merchandise from the same country of
origin, the scope inquiry will be
conducted on the record of the AD
proceeding. Further, please note that
pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(m)(1),
Commerce may either apply a scope
ruling to all products from the same
country with the same relevant physical
characteristics, (including chemical,
dimensional, and technical
characteristics) as the product at issue,
on a country-wide basis, regardless of
the producer, exporter, or importer of
those products, or on a companyspecific basis.

for filing information with Commerce
through ACCESS and participating in
scope inquiries, please refer to the

for that segment of the proceeding must
file an entry of appearance in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.103(d)(1)

parties are advised to refer to the case

351.225(f) for further information on the
scope inquiry procedures, including the
timelines for the submission of
comments.
Please note that this notice of scope
ruling applications filed in AD and CVD
proceedings may be published before
any potential initiation, or after the
initiation, of a given scope inquiry
based on a scope ruling application
identified in this notice. Therefore,
please refer to the case segment on
ACCESS to determine whether a scope
ruling application has been accepted or
rejected and whether a scope inquiry
has been initiated.
Interested parties who wish to be
served scope ruling applications for a
particular AD or CVD order may file a
request to be included on the annual
inquiry service list during the
anniversary month of the publication of
the AD or CVD order in accordance with
19 CFR 351.225(n) and Commerce’s
procedures.7
