CIT Upholds, Remands Parts of Welded Line Pipe Antidumping Review

The Court of International Trade in an April 19 opinion sustained parts and remanded parts of the Commerce Department's final results of the 2017-2018 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on welded line pipe from South Korea. Judge Claire Kelly sustained Commerce's decision to cap respondent SeAH's freight revenue. The judge remanded, however, the agency's particular market situation determination and adjustment methodology, use of a PMS adjustment to SeAH's home market sales for the sales-below-cost test, denial of a constructed export price offset for SeAH, reallocation of respondent NEXTEEL's suspended loss and non-prime product costs and separate rate calculation.
