CIT Upholds Parts, Sends Back Parts of AD Review on Multilayered Wood Flooring From China

The Court of International Trade in an Aug. 25 opinion upheld parts and sent back parts of the Commerce Department's 2019-20 review of the antidumping duty order on multilayered wood flooring from China. Judge Jennifer Choe-Groves remanded Commerce's pick of Brazil as the primary surrogate nation while using data for log inputs from Malaysia and the agency's decision to revise the Brazilian surrogate value data for plywood. The judge upheld Commerce's calculation of the Brazilian financial ratios and the agency's denial of exporter Jiangsu Senmao Bamboo and Wood Industry Co.'s byproduct offset.
