The paper plates subject to this
investigation remain covered by the scope of
this investigation whether imported alone, or
in any combination of subject and nonsubject merchandise. When paper plates
subject to this investigation are imported in
combination with non-subject merchandise,
only the paper plates subject to this
investigation are subject merchandise.
The paper plates subject to this
investigation include paper plates matching
the above description that have been
finished, packaged, or otherwise processed in
a third country by performing finishing,
packaging, or processing that would not
otherwise remove the merchandise from the
scope of the investigation if performed in the
country of manufacture of the paper plates.
Examples of finishing, packaging, or other
processing in a third country that would not
otherwise remove the merchandise from the
scope of the investigation if performed in the
country of manufacture of the paper plates
include, but are not limited to, printing,
application of other surface treatments such
as coatings, repackaging, embossing, and
application of foil surface treatments.
Excluded from the scope of this
investigation are paper plates molded or
pressed directly from paper pulp (including
but not limited to unfelted pulp), which are
currently classifiable under subheading
4823.70.0020 of the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
Also excluded from the scope of this
investigation are articles that otherwise
would be covered but which exhibit the
