Then Commerce examined the twist tie component and found it was explicitly covered by the scope in both function and physical description. Finally, Commerce examined if the inclusion of the twist tie with the attachable bow resulted in an exclusion of the scope inquiry merchandise from the scope of the orders. Since there is no exclusion for a twist tie that is a component of merchandise that has a bow, Commerce found the twist tie was not excluded from the orders. The twist tie component of twist ties attached with bows is, therefore, covered by the scope of the orders; November 27, 2023.
