CIT Upholds Commerce's AFA, Specificity Findings in Aluminum Extrusions CVD Case

The Court of International Trade sustained the Commerce Department's final results in the administrative review of the countervailing duty order on aluminum extrusions from China in a May 10 decision. Issuing his second opinion in the case after the plaintiff-intervenors, all associated with Jangho Group, vied for a rehearing over their "alternative arguments," Judge Leo Gordon said that Commerce properly hit Jangho with adverse facts available over whether all aluminum extrusions suppliers are "authorities." Gordon also said that Commerce properly found that the provision of glass and aluminum extrusions below cost are specific subsidies.
