CIT Orders Redo of AD Rate for China Tapered Roller Bearings Company

The Court of International Trade on Jan. 15 sent back down the results of the 2009-10 antidumping duty administrative review on tapered roller bearings from China, ordering the Commerce Department to take another look at the rate it assigned to Changshan Peer Bearing. A change to the way Commerce valued some of the inputs Peer Bearing used to produce its bearings caused the companies AD rate to rise from 5.61% at the preliminary stage to 14.98% in the final results. CIT ruled that Commerce didn’t explain why it changed to the new data for valuing Peer Bearing’s inputs.
