The following are short summaries of recent CBP NY rulings issued by the agency's National Commodity Specialist Division in New York:
No record evidence supports the Commerce Department's finding that imports of plywood from Vietnam circumvented the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on certain hardwood plywood products from China, Vietnamese producer and exporter Greatriver Wood said in a Sept. 8 complaint to the Court of International Trade (Greatriver Wood v. U.S., CIT # 23-00155).
In the Sept. 6 Customs Bulletin (Vol. 57, No. 32), CBP published a proposal to modify two ruling letters concerning reaching aids.
The Court of International Trade should sustain the Commerce Department’s remand redetermination of an antidumping duty investigation on OCTG from South Korea, DOJ argued. The court only ordered Commerce to reconsider a specific issue on remand, which the department did, DOJ wrote in its Sept. 6 remand comments to the Court of International Trade (Nexteel Co. v. United States, CIT Consol. # 18-00083).
The Commerce Department failed to comply with a Court of International Trade remand order in a countervailing duty case concerning forged steel fluid end blocks from Germany, exporter Edelstahl said in its Sept. 6 remand comments at the Court of International Trade. Edelstahl's comment contested the second remand redetermination by the Commerce Department, which continued to find that Germany's KAV program was de jure specific and could be countervailed (BGH Edelstahl Siegen v. U.S., CIT # 21-00080).
In the Sept. 6 Customs Bulletin (Vol. 57, No. 32), CBP published proposals to modify one ruling letter on rice protein powder and one concerning tensioning systems.
The Commerce Department's alleged unequal treatment of the parties in a scope ruling justifies judgment in favor of the importers, Elysium Tiles and Elysium Tile Florida argued in an Aug. 31 motion for judgment at the Court of International Trade. The case concerns a scope ruling issued with respect to the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on ceramic tiles from China. Elysium argues that Commerce improperly met with Florida Tile, a member of the AD/CVD petitioner Coalition of Fair Trade in Ceramic Tile (Elysium Tiles v. U.S., CIT # 23-00041).
