CIT Sustains ITC Negative Injury Vote in AD Case After More Explanation on Remand

Negative injury determinations that ended antidumping duty investigations on polyethylene terephthalate resin from Brazil, Indonesia, South Korea, Pakistan and Taiwan in 2018 will stand, after the Court of International Trade sustained a remand redetermination from the International Trade Commission that provided further explanation of the ITC’s decisions without any changes to the end result.

In a decision issued May 3 but not publicly released until May 6, CIT ruled that, although the ITC continued to find that there was no adverse impact to U.S. industry in light of overselling by foreign exporters and other, unrelated causes of injury to U.S. industry, additional explanation provided by the ITC satisfied the court’s June 2020 remand order.
