Country of origin cases
Antidumping duty petitioner Daikin America on Sept. 9 opposed the Commerce Department's remand results finding it wasn't feasible for respondent Gujarat Fluorochemicals to report its movement expenses on a transaction-specific basis. Daikin said the agency wrongfully said Gujarat's grade-based allocation was as specific as it could be and didn't cause "inaccuracies and distortions" (Daikin America v. United States, CIT # 22-00122).
U.S. seafood seller Luscious Seafood argued on Sept. 13 that the Commerce Department misinterpreted the statute when it found that the company didn't qualify as a bona fide wholesaler of the domestic like product. As a result of its finding, Commerce found Luscious' request for administrative review of the antidumping duty order on frozen fish fillets from Vietnam invalid (Luscious Seafood v. United States, CIT # 24-00069).
The Court of International Trade on Sept. 12 dismissed a customs penalty suit against Greenlight Organic and its owner Parambir Singh "Sonny" Aulakh after the parties filed a joint stipulation of dismissal. The parties told the court a settlement was reached in the case, which was filed in 2017 to address an alleged misclassification scheme carried out by the defendants (see 2409090056) (United States v. Greenlight Organic, CIT # 17-00031).
