In the case, the trade court also upheld Commerce's decisions to drop a particular market situation finding for a key input of oil country tubular goods from South Korea, and adjust respondent Nexteel Co.'s reported costs for the value of non-prime products at their sales price and allocate the difference between the full production cost and market value of the non-prime products to the production costs of the prime OCTG (see 2208300030).
Most recently in the case, respondent SeAH Steel urged the trade court to reconsider its decision in light of the Stupp Corp. v. U.S. decision at the Federal Circuit calling into question the use of the Cohen's d test in the differential pricing analysis (see 2209270039).
