CIT Allows Commerce to Reconsider AT&M AD Rate in China Sawblades Review

The Court of International Trade on April 29 agreed to let the Commerce Department take another look into Advanced Technology & Materials Co.’s eligibility for its own antidumping duty rate in the 2009-10 administrative review on diamond sawblades from China (A-570-900). AT&M had gotten a zero AD duty rate in the final results. But the Chinese company’s independence from Chinese state control was called into question by an October 2013 CIT decision related to the original AD duty investigation (see 13101501). CIT granted Commerce’s request to reconsider the 2009-10 review in light of the decision.
