The U.S. Department of
Commerce (Commerce) published
notice in the Federal Register of January
14, 2025, in which Commerce initiated
the less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation on sol gel alumina-based
ceramic abrasive grains (ceramic
abrasive grains) from the People’s
Republic of China (China). This notice
contained an appendix that included a
typographical error with respect to the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheadings in
the scope of the investigation.

Appendix
Scope of the Investigation
The merchandise covered by this
investigation is sol gel alumina-based
ceramic abrasive grains which are comprised
of minimum 94% aluminum oxide (Al2O3),
and may contain other compounds,
including, but not limited to, titanium
dioxide, silicon dioxide, calcium oxide,
sodium superoxide, ferric oxide, magnesium
oxide, di-aluminum magnesium tetroxide,
lanthanum oxide, lanthanum magnesium
oxide, zirconium dioxide, or zirconium
carbonate. Grain sizes of sol gel aluminabased ceramic abrasive grains range from
0.85 mm to 0.0395 mm (which corresponds
to American National Standards Institute
(ANSI) grit sizes from 20 to 280).
Shapes include but are not limited to
angular, sharp, extra sharp, blocky, splintery,
round stripped, triangular or shaped like
extruded rods or stars.
Ceramic abrasive grains have unique
crystalline structures that impart certain
advanced properties, such as their extreme
hardness and strength ranging between 16
and 22 gigapascals by the Vickers Diamond
Indent Method, high melting point (2050 °C),
and a single- or multi-phase microstructure,
which may contain multiple phases, having
crystalline sizes ranging from 0.05 to 30 mm.
These ceramic abrasive grains include but are
not limited to blue, white, white-translucent,
or off-white opaque colors.
Sol gel alumina-based ceramic abrasive
grains are covered by the scope of this
investigation, whether or not incorporated
into downstream articles, including but not
limited to, abrasive papers, grinding wheels,
grinding cylinders, and grinding discs. When
incorporated into downstream articles, only
the sol gel alumina-based ceramic abrasive
grains component of such articles is covered
by the product scope, and not the
downstream product as a whole.
The merchandise subject to this
investigation is properly classified under
subheadings 2818.10.2010 and 2818.10.2090
of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS). Other merchandise
subject to the current scope, including when
incorporated into the abovementioned
downstream articles, may be classified under
HTSUS subheadings 2818.10.1000,
2818.20.0000, 2818.30.0000, 3824.99.1100,
3824.99.1900, 6805.10.0000, 6805.20.0000,
6805.30.1000, 6805.30.5000, 6804.22.1000,
6804.22.4000, 6804.22.6000, 8204.12.0000,
8474.90.0010, 8474.90.0020, 8474.90.0050,
and 8474.90.0090. Although the HTSUS
statistical reporting numbers are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the merchandise is
dispositive.
