CIT Sustains AD Review on Japanese Glycine, Remands CVD Investigation on Cabinets

The Court of International Trade on July 30 sustained the Commerce Department's first review of the antidumping duty order on glycine from Japan. Judge Stephen Vaden said Commerce appropriately decided on remand to remove exporter Nagase's compensation for payment expenses from the company's general and administrative expense ratio. Vaden also ruled that Nagase failed to exhaust its administrative remedies regarding its request that Commerce reconsider the assessment rate.

In a separate decision, made public July 30, Judge Richard Eaton sent back Commerce's remand results in a case on the countervailing duty investigation of wooden cabinets and vanities from China. Eaton said that for each of exporter The Ancientree Co.'s U.S. customers whose non-use of China's Export Buyer's Credit Program was verified, the agency must find a customer-specific rate that excludes a subsidy amount for the program.
