Importer Diamond Tools Technology did not make a "material and false statement" and so did not evade the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on diamond sawblades from China via Thailand, CBP said in remand results filed under protest with the Court of International Trade. CBP said it made its finding to bring the proceeding in line with the trade court's remand order, which said that DTT's "failure to declare" its pre-Dec. 1, 2017, imports as subject to the AD order was not a material and false statement under the Enforce and Protect Act (Diamond Tools Tech. v. Unied States, CIT # 20-00060).
The Commerce Department failed to correctly apply quarterly cost methodology in an antidumping duty review of certain carbon and alloy steel cut-to-length (CTL) plate from Italy, exporter Officine Tecnosider said in a March 17 motion for judgment at the Court of International Trade (Officine Tecnosider v. U.S., CIT # 23-00001).

The Court of International Trade on March 16 refused to accept a second motion to dismiss from Zhe "John" Liu, a defendant in a penalty case, since it "is not a motion provided for by the rules of the court." Judge Jane Restani ruled that Liu's "excuse" for filing the second motion -- that "something signficant" intervened -- "is not well-taken." The trade court instead accepted Liu's first motion to dismiss, and told Liu to make sure future filings align with court rules (United States v. Zhe "John" Liu, CIT # 22-00215).
