During the investigation, the Commerce Department found critical circumstances didn’t exist regarding exports by mandatory respondent Xiamen Dalle. ITC then based its own critical circumstances finding for the mandatory respondents on the findings reached by the Commerce Department, joining Commerce in reaching a negative determination for Xiamen Dalle.
The coalition asked for both investigations to be remanded.
Exporter Tao Motor brought its own complaint regarding the investigations to the trade court Oct. 8 (see 2510100035).
