CIT Gives US 14 Days to File Voluntary Remand Motion in EAPA Suit on Extrusions
The Court of International Trade on Oct. 7 set a 14-day deadline for the U.S. to file for a voluntary remand in an Enforce and Protect Act case originally brought by exporter Kingtom Aluminio. The parties in a recent joint status report told the court to lift the stay on the case and that the government intends to file a voluntary remand motion (Kingtom Aluminio v. United States, CIT Consol. #22-00072).

The move comes after time expired to appeal a separate case related to CBP's original finding that importers Global Aluminum Distributor and Hialeah Aluminum Supply evaded the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on aluminum extrusions from China. In the separate action, CBP flipped its evasion determination and said the orders weren't evaded through transshipment in the Dominican Republic (see 2407100048).
The parties in the present suit sought to lift the stay and have the U.S. file a voluntary remand motion. Judge Richard Eaton gave the government until Oct. 18 to do so.
