The Court of International Trade remanded the Commerce Department's 2018 administrative review of the countervailing duty order on rebar from Turkey. Judge Gary Katzmann said that, with respect to Commerce's attribution to respondent Kaptan Demir Celik Endustrisi ve Ticaret of subsidies received by affiliated ship building company Nur Gemicilik ve Tic, the agency didn't adequately explain its finding Nur was a cross-owned input supplier of primarily dedicated inputs. Commerce erroneously said that since it previously found that "scrap" is an input primarily dedicated to the production of downstream steel products, "it is a matter of routine." Katzmann ruled this prior decision was fact-specific and not applicable to the present case.

The Commerce Department stuck by its decision to find that importer SMA Surface's Twilight product does not qualify for the crushed glass surface products exclusion under the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on quartz surface products from China, in remand results submitted to the Court of International Trade on April 12. Commerce said that since SMA Surfaces submitted pictures of only a part of its Twilight slab, it was not able to verify that the product meets the criteria of the exclusion, which requires that there be a one centimeter glass piece within three inches of another one centimeter glass piece across the surface of the product (SMA Surfaces v. United States, CIT # 21-00399).
