SCOPE OF THE INVESTIGATION
The following language describes the imported merchandise from the Russian Federation that is within the scope of this Petition:
The scope of these investigations is unwrought palladium from Russia. Unwrought palladium includes palladium, whether or not refined, in the form of ingots, blocks, lumps, billets, cakes, slabs, pigs, cathodes, anodes, briquettes, cubes, sticks, grains, sponge, pellets, shot, powder, and similar forms. The scope does not cover rolled, forged, drawn or extruded products, tubular products or cast or sintered forms which have been machined or processed otherwise than by simple trimming, scalping, or descaling.
Unwrought palladium is covered by the scope regardless of production method. The scope includes unwrought palladium produced through ore extraction, unwrought palladium produced by recycling palladium-containing scrap, unwrought palladium produced by any other method, and blends of unwrought palladium produced by different methods.
The scope includes unwrought palladium that is commingled with unwrought palladium from sources not subject to these investigations or commingled with other metals. Only the subject unwrought palladium component of such commingled products is covered by the scope of these investigations. Subject merchandise includes merchandise matching the above description that has been finished, packaged, or otherwise processed in a third country, including by refining, grinding, commingling, adding or removing additives, or performing any other finishing, packaging, or processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of the investigations if performed in the subject country.
The covered merchandise is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) at subheading 7110.21.0000. Although the HTSUS code is provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the covered merchandise is dispositive.
