CIT Again Remands China Ironing Tables 2008-09 AD Rate for Foshan Shunde

The Court of International Trade again remanded antidumping duty rate Commerce set for Foshan Shunde Yongjian Housewares & Hardware Co., Ltd. in the 2008-09 administrative review on floor-standing, metal-top ironing tables from China (A-570-888). Commerce had in response to CIT’s first remand (see 13060336) kept Since Hardware’s AD rate at 83.83% but set Foshan Shunde’s rate at 22.46%. The court refused to accept Foshan Shunde’s rate because of ongoing issues with Commerce’s explanation of how it factored in brokerage and handling expenses. Any change to the rate would affect entries of subject merchandise from August 2008 -- July 2009. Cash deposit rates for Foshan Shunde wouldn’t change because new rates have been set in more recent administrative reviews (see 12091019).
