CIT Says AD Respondents Failed to Show Freedom From Gov't Control in AD Review, Investigation

The Commerce Department legally found that Chinese respondents in an antidumping investigation and review failed to rebut the presumption of de facto government control, the Court of International Trade ruled in a pair of opinions. In a suit contesting the 2015-16 review of the AD order on off-the-road tires from China, Judge Timothy Stanceu said Guizhou Tyre did not rebut the presumption of Chinese state control of the company's export functions, failing its bid for a separate rate. In a case on the AD investigation on truck and bus tires from China, Stanceu ruled that Guizhou Tyre and Double Coin both failed to rebut the presumption of government control of their export functions.
