CIT Upholds Commerce's Reversal on AFA on Australian Steel Exporter

The Court of International Trade in an Aug. 30 opinion upheld the Commerce Department's remand results in the 2016-17 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on hot-rolled steel flat products from Australia. On remand in the case, Commerce dropped its reliance on adverse facts available based on the respondent BlueScope Steel's U.S. sales quantity and value reporting data. The move dropped the dumping rate for BlueScope from 99.20% to 4.95%.
