CAFC Affirms Curtain Wall Units Covered by China Aluminum Extrusions Duties

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit on Jan. 21 affirmed a lower court ruling that found curtain wall units are subject to antidumping and countervailing duties on aluminum extrusions from China (here). Just as the Court of International Trade did in a ruling issued nearly a year ago (see 14013101), CAFC pointed to a section of the description of the scope of duties on aluminum extrusions that includes parts for curtain walls as products covered by AD/CV duties. Because curtain wall units are parts of curtain walls, they are explicitly included in the scope, said the appeals court.
