Chinese Producer Challenges Commerce's Countervailing Duty Rate Calculation

Commerce erred in its calculations of countervailable subsidies in an administrative review on multilayered wood flooring from China, which led to a higher rate for non-individually reviewed average rate respondents, Zhejiang Dadongwu Greenhome Wood said in an Aug. 9 complaint filed to the Court of International Trade. In the review, Commerce calculated countervailable subsidy rates for the two mandatory respondents -- 12.74% and 3.36% -- and 9.85% for non-selected companies, including GreenHome. GreenHome said that Commerce incorrectly calculated the subsidy rates during the review and has asked the court to remand the case to Commerce for a redetermination.
