Fischer & Citrosuco Appeal CIT Decision Sustaining 2009-10 Brazil Orange Juice AD Final Results

Fischer and Citrosuco appealed a Dec. 6 Court of International Trade ruling sustaining the final results of the 2009-10 antidumping duty administrative review of orange juice from Brazil (A-351-840). The Brazilian company and its affiliated U.S. importer had argued that the ITA improperly (1) included bunker fuel surcharges in Fischer’s surrogate freight rate; (2) used window period sales in calculating Fischer’s constructed value for certain months of the period of review; and (3) used zeroing to calculate Fischer’s dumping margin. The court had found against the companies on all issues.
