CIT Rules Late Respondent in Korean CTL Plate AD Review Gets Adverse Rate

Korean producer Hyosung Corporation did not respond by the deadline to a quantity and value questionnaire from the International Trade Administration in the initial stages of the February 2008 - January 2009 antidumping duty administrative review of certain cut-to-length carbon-quality steel (CTL) plate from Korea, then gave an incomplete response by fax only. The Court of International Trade dismissed Hyosung’s challenge to the 32.70% rate the ITA assigned it, ruling that the ITA was correct to reject the untimely and incomplete questionnaire, and finding that the adverse rate was supported by sufficient evidence.
