CAFC Upholds ITC's Negative Injury Decision on Fabricated Structural Steel From China

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in a Sept. 7 order upheld the International Trade Commission's negative injury determination in the antidumping duty investigation on fabricated structural steel from China. Judges Jimmie Reyna, William Bryson and Tiffany Cunningham ruled against the Full Member Subgroup of the American Institute of Steel Construction in finding that the ITC did not err by declining to settle an alleged ambiguity in the scope of the domestic like product, deciding that the captive production exception is not applicable and declaring that imports of fabricated structural steel did not lead to significant price effects.
