Trade Court Upholds Removal of PMS Adjustment in AD Case

The Court of International Trade in a June 16 opinion sustained the Commerce Department's remand results in the 2017-18 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on welded non-alloy steel pipe from South Korea. In the case, Commerce dropped its particular market situation adjustment to the sales-below-cost test, despite continuing to find that a PMS existed during the review. Judge Jennifer Choe-Groves upheld the elimination of the PMS adjustment for the sales-below-cost test.
