OPINION

POGUE, Chief Judge:

This matter returns to court following remand in Constantine N. Polites v. United States, ___ CIT ___, 755 F.Supp.2d 1352 (2011) ("Polites I"). At issue is whether Plaintiff Polites's imports of steel tubes, intended for use as scaffolding, are exempt from countervailing and antidumping duties, under an exclusion for "finished scaffolding."1
