Appendix I
Scope of the Investigation
The scope of this investigation covers
boltless steel shelving units prepackaged for
sale, with or without decks (boltless steel
shelving). The term ‘‘prepackaged for sale’’
means that, at a minimum, the steel vertical
supports (i.e., uprights and posts) and steel
horizontal supports (i.e., beams, braces)
necessary to assemble a completed shelving
unit (with or without decks) are packaged
together for ultimate purchase by the enduser. The scope also includes add-on kits.
Add-on kits include, but are not limited to,
kits that allow the end-user to add an
extension shelving unit onto an existing
boltless steel shelving unit such that the
extension and the original unit will share
common frame elements (e.g., two posts).
The term ‘‘boltless’’ refers to steel shelving in
which the vertical and horizontal supports
forming the frame are assembled primarily
without the use of nuts and bolts, or screws.
The vertical and horizontal support members
for boltless steel shelving are assembled by
methods such as, but not limited to, fitting
a rivet, punched or cut tab, or other similar
connector on one support into a hole, slot or
similar receptacle on another support. The
supports lock together to form the frame for
the shelving unit and provide the structural
integrity of the shelving unit separate from
the inclusion of any decking. The incidental
use of nuts and bolts, or screws to add
accessories, wall anchors, tie-bars or shelf
supports does not remove the product from
scope. Boltless steel shelving units may also
come packaged as partially assembled, such
as when two upright supports are welded
together with front-to-back supports, or are
otherwise connected, to form an end unit for
VerDate Sep<11>2014

the frame. The boltless steel shelving covered
by this investigation may be commonly
described as rivet shelving, welded frame
shelving, slot and tab shelving, and punched
rivet (quasi-rivet) shelving as well as by other
trade names. The term ‘‘deck’’ refers to the
shelf that sits on or fits into the horizontal
supports (beams or braces) to provide the
horizontal storage surface of the shelving
unit.
The scope includes all boltless steel
shelving meeting the description above,
regardless of: (1) vertical support or post type
(including but not limited to open post,
closed post and tubing); (2) horizontal
support or beam/brace profile (including but
not limited to Z-beam, C-beam, L-beam, step
beam and cargo rack); (3) number of
supports; (4) surface coating (including but
not limited to paint, epoxy, powder coating,
zinc and other metallic coating); (5) number
of levels; (6) weight capacity; (7) shape
(including but not limited to rectangular,
square, and corner units); (8) decking
material (including but not limited to wire
decking, particle board, laminated board or
no deck at all); or (9) the boltless method by
which vertical and horizontal supports
connect (including but not limited to keyhole
and rivet, slot and tab, welded frame,
punched rivet and clip).
Specifically excluded from the scope are:
• Wall-mounted shelving, defined as
shelving that is hung on the wall and does
not stand on, or transfer load to, the floor.
The addition of a wall bracket or other device
to attach otherwise freestanding subject
merchandise to a wall does not meet the
terms of this exclusion;
• Wire shelving units, which consist of
shelves made from wire that incorporates
both a wire deck and wire horizontal
supports (taking the place of the horizontal
beams and braces) into a single piece with
tubular collars that slide over the posts and
onto plastic sleeves snapped on the posts to
create the finished shelving unit;
• Bulk-packed parts or components of
boltless steel shelving units; and
• Made-to-order shelving systems.
Subject boltless steel shelving enters the
United States through Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS)
statistical subheading 9403.20.0075. While
the HTSUS subheading is provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
description of the scope of this investigation
is dispositive.
