<HD SOURCE="HD1">Background</HD>
On October 11, 2023, Commerce issued its Final Scope Ruling finding that calcium glycinate is not subject to the scope of the
<E T="03">Orders.</E>
<SU>1</SU>
<FTREF/>
Deer Park LLC appealed Commerce's Final Scope Ruling. On April 10, 2025, the CIT remanded the Final Scope Ruling to Commerce, holding that Commerce's determination was unreasonable and remanding for Commerce to: (1) analyze whether calcium glycinate is a form of crude or technical glycine, which would bring it within the scope of the
<E T="03">Orders,</E>
<SU>2</SU>
<FTREF/>
and (2) specifically consider information in the scope application and the ITC Report that detracted from Commerce's interpretation of the scope language and its ultimate determination that calcium glycinate is not subject to the
<E T="03">Orders.</E>

In its decision in

<SU>6</SU>
<FTREF/>
as clarified by
<E T="03">Diamond Sawblades,</E>
the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce must publish a notice of court decision that is not “in harmony” with a Commerce determination and must suspend liquidation of entries pending a “conclusive” court decision. The CIT's August 20, 2025, judgment constitutes a final decision of the CIT that is not in harmony with Commerce's Final Scope Ruling. Thus, this notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of
