CIT Won't Rehear Challenge of China Bedroom Furniture AD New Shipper Review Rescission

The Court of International Trade denied a rehearing of a case where it affirmed the International Trade Administration’s rescission of an antidumping new shipper review on wooden bedroom furniture from China (A-570-890). In its request for the new shipper review, plaintiff Marvin Furniture (Shanghai) had told the ITA that its first entries of subject merchandise to the U.S. occurred in June 2011. But after the ITA initiated the review, CBP found earlier entries of subject merchandise from Marvin. Given this new information, the ITA rescinded the new shipper review because Marvin’s review request did not meet the statutory requirements. In its request for rehearing, Marvin argued that the affirmance included several semantic errors, but CIT said Marvin’s assertions were a mischaracterization of the opinion.
