Originally, Commerce found Nur to be a cross-owned input supplier, in a 2020 review of the countervailing duty order on steel concrete reinforcing bar from Turkey (see 2205130034). However, in the 2018 review of the order, Commerce determined that Nur wasn’t a cross-owned input supplier, and CAFC affirmed CIT’s “decision to sustain Commerce’s remand redetermination” (see 2401080066).
According to the order, the case is remanded to Commerce “for further administrative proceedings,” and Commerce has 90 days to file a remand redetermination.
