The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit recently upheld a lower court decision that found the Commerce Department correctly applied adverse facts available to a Mexican exporter after it submitted corrected cost data without adequate information in an antidumping duty administrative review.

The Court of International Trade issued two opinions in antidumping and countervailing duty cases late on April 29. In one opinion, CIT sustained Commerce's second remand results for the 2016 countervailing duty administrative review on corrosion-resistant steel products from India, finding that the agency properly applied total adverse facts available when determining the duty rate for Indian exporter Uttam Galva Steels Limited.

Chief Judge Mark Barnett of the U.S. Court of International Trade signed an administrative order that will automatically stay any new complaints filed in the massive Section 301 litigation before they are assigned to the three-judge panel he shares with Judges Claire Kelly and Jennifer Choe-Groves.

The Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in an April 26 opinion upheld a Court of International Trade ruling that gave duty-free treatment to darunavir ethanolate, the active ingredient in a HIV medication from drugmaker Janssen.

The Court of International Trade's newest judge, Stephen Vaden, issued his first opinion with the court on April 21, dismissing tire importer Strategic Import Supply's challenge of CBP's assessment of countervailing duties on its imports of passenger vehicle and light truck tires from China.
