The Court of International Trade sustained the Commerce Department's decision to pick a secondary mandatory respondent in an antidumping review despite temporal limits on the selection process. However, Judge Mark Barnett sent back the agency's methodology for picking the respondent due to its failure to explain its removal of Shandong Linglong Tyre Co. from the list of eligible exporters.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in a June 26 text-only order granted the government's request for 30 more days to file its reply brief in a customs case from importer Blue Sky The Color of Imagination on the customs classification of calendar planners. The reply is now due Aug. 2 (Blue Sky The Color of Imagination v. U.S., Fed. Cir. # 24-1710).
Exporter Hindalco Industries told the Court of International Trade last week that the Commerce Department erred in finding that the provision of coal to the company below cost is de facto specific. Filing its motion for judgment, Hindalco added that in the case the court finds the supposed subsidy is specific, Commerce illicitly calculated the subsidy's benefit to the company (Hindalco Industries v. United States, CIT # 23-00260).
The Commerce Department can't extend an antidumping and countervailing duty circumvention finding based on adverse facts available for one mandatory respondent on a "country-wide basis," exporter Trina Solar Co. argued June 25. Filing a motion for judgment at the Court of International Trade, Trina said Commerce made "no company-specific findings" on whether all the cooperative companies were circumventing the AD/CVD orders on Chinese solar cells and, as a matter of law, can't impose the circumvention finding on those companies (Trina Solar (Vietnam) Science & Technology Co. v. U.S., CIT # 23-00228).
After four remands in the Court of International Trade (see 2312210054), a German exporter of steel used to transport corrosive materials filed its opening bid with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on June 21. The company, AG der Dillinger Huttenwerke, claimed the Commerce Department wrongly used one of its products’ selling prices as a substitute for its costs of production, which amounts to “circular reasoning" (AG Der Dillinger Huttenwerke v. U.S., Fed. Cir. # 24-1498).
