United States, Endura Products, INC., Court No. 2023-1534 (collectively, Worldwide Federal Circuit), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Federal Circuit) reversed the U.S. Court of International Trade's (CIT) Second Remand Order, and sustained the non-protested portions of Commerce's First Remand Redeterminations. The Federal Circuit also vacated the CIT's subsequent opinions and orders in this case following the Second Remand Order.

(Columbia) are within the scope of the antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on aluminum extrusions from the People's Republic of China (China).

However, consistent with the Federal Circuit's decision reversing and vacating the CIT's opinion and order, Commerce is now amending the final scope rulings, as they were represented in the Amended Final Scope Rulings, to find that the Worldwide and Columbia door thresholds at issue are subject to the Orders.
