U.S. Appeals CIT Ruling on AD/CV Scope Treatment of Items in Kits
The U.S. government appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit a ruling that affirmed its inclusion of nails in kits within the antidumping duty order on steel nails from China (A-570-909). The International Trade Administration’s original determination that Target Corporation’s nails in home tool kits were not subject to the order was remanded twice by the Court of International Trade, which found that the ITA applied contradictory approaches in scope determinations for items included in kits. The ITA finally reversed its determination and included the nails in scope, and CIT affirmed in July.
