CIT Upholds Commerce's Finding That CVD Respondent Didn't Manipulate CVD Rate

The Court of International Trade upheld the Commerce Department's remand results in a case on the 2018 countervailing duty review on utility scale wind towers from Vietnam. The court previously sent back the case so that Commerce could consider evidence relating to respondent CS Wind Vietnam's potential manipulation of its CVD margin. Judge Timothy Reif said the agency provided a reasonable explanation of its findings that CS Wind Vietnam was not manipulating the denominator in its subsidy calculation and that the steel plate in question was sourced from Vietnam.
