AD Order Scope Amended, Partially Revoked for Certain Toy Boxes
The ITA is partially revoking and amending the scope of the AD duty order on wooden bedroom furniture to exclude the following toy boxes:
To be excluded the toy box must: (1) be wider than it is tall; (2) have dimensions within 16 - 27 inches in height, 15 - 18 inches in depth, and 21 - 30 inches in width; (3) have a hinged lid that encompasses the entire top of the box; (4) not incorporate any doors or drawers; (5) have slow-closing safety hinges; (6) have air vents; (7) have no locking mechanism; and (8) comply with American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard F963-03. Toy boxes are boxes generally designed for the purpose of storing children's items such as toys, books, and playthings.
Liquidation, Refund of AD Duties for Excluded Toy Boxes
The ITA will instruct the U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate without regard to AD duties, as applicable, and to refund any estimated AD duties collected for all unliquidated entries of toy boxes meeting the specifications indicated above with a time of entry on or after January 1, 2007.
