CIT Again Remands China Tapered Roller Bearing 2007-08 AD Review

The Court of International Trade again remanded the final results from the 2007-08 antidumping administrative review of tapered roller bearings from China (A-570-601). The court had remanded in late 2011 on Commerce’s surrogate values used to determine Peer Bearing Company-Changshan’s (CPZ) AD rate, as well as its country of origin determination that finished bearings processed in and exported from Thailand from Chinese-origin unfinished bearings are subject merchandise (see 11112218). On remand, CIT sustained the agency’s redeterminations of the surrogate values at issue, which caused CPZ’s AD rate to fall from 24.62 to 7.37 percent. But it rejected Commerce’s insistence on continuing to find the country of origin for the Thai-finished roller bearings as China and not Thailand.
