CIT Accepts Redo of 2008-09 China Pet Film AD Review; Rates Fall for Fuwei, Green Packing
The Court of International Trade sustained a remand redetermination of the 2008-09 antidumping duty administrative review of polyethylene terephthalate film, sheet, and strip from China (A-570-924). At issue in the remand was the International Trade Administration’s choice of surrogate data to value polyethylene terephthalate chips used by Fuwei Films to produce its film, among other issues. DuPont challenged the remand, but the court found the company’s arguments unavailing because they had earlier argued opposite positions. As a result of the remand, Fuwei Films’ AD rate for the 2008-09 review fell to 0.27 percent, and Green Packing’s to zero.
