Trade Court Upholds Evasion Finding on Chinese Wooden Cabinets and Vanities

The Court of International Trade in a June 20 opinion upheld CBP's finding that importer Skyview Cabinet evaded the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on wooden cabinets and vanities from China. Judge Stephen Vaden ruled that, contrary to Skyview's claims, CBP supported its conclusion with substantial evidence and that Skyview failed to show its goods were made in Malaysia. Vaden added that CBP properly used adverse facts available given foreign manufacturer Rowenda Kitchen's refusal to provide any requested information and that the agency did not violate the company's due process rights.
