CIT Upholds Commerce's Remand Dropping Dual-Stenciled Pipe From AD Order

The Commerce Department was right to exclude dual-stenciled standard pipe and line pipe from the antidumping duty order on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Thailand, the Court of International Trade said in an Aug. 25 opinion. Upholding Commerce's remand results in a scope challenge, Judge Stephen Vaden ruled that no line pipe was made in Thailand when the initial AD investigation was commenced over 40 years ago and no injury finding was made for line or dual-stenciled pipe from Thailand.
