CIT Sustains End of 2009 China/Taiwan Steel Fasteners AD/CVD Investigations

Although the court originally remanded in October 2011 for ITC’s use of allegedly incomplete data (see 11102112), CIT accepted the ITC’s continued use of the data on remand because using different data wouldn’t have changed the ultimate finding of no injury to domestic industry, it said. As such, the court denied Nucor’s request for a new investigation.
