CIT Again Remands Commerce's Decision Not to Investigate Off-Peak Sale of Electricity in Korea

The Court of International Trade in an Aug. 21 opinion made public Sept. 4 again sent back the Commerce Department's 2018 review of the countervailing duty order on carbon and alloy steel-cut-length plate from South Korea. Judge Mark Barnett said the agency must revisit for the second time its decisions not to investigate the alleged off-peak sale of electricity for less than adequate remuneration and to not treat POSCO Plantec, an affiliate of respondent POSCO, as a cross-owned input supplier for the provision of scrap and the converter vessel.
