CIT Sustains China Folding Tables and Chairs New Shipper AD Rate for Xinjiamei

The Court of International Trade on Feb. 18 sustained the 2.78% antidumping duty rate assigned to Xinjiamei Furniture (Zhangzhou) in a new shipper review on folding metal tables and chairs from China (A-570-868). After having remanded Xinjiamei’s AD rate in March 2013 (see 13031204), the court found that the Commerce Department complied with its instruction to justify its use of some data on the second go round. CIT refused to hear Xinjiamei’s arguments to the contrary because the company didn’t first address its concerns to Commerce after the agency issued a draft version of its remand redetermination.
