CIT Tells Commerce to Revisit Whether Exporter's Home Market Sales Made 'for Consumption'

The Court of International Trade in an Aug. 15 decision made public Aug. 20 remanded the Commerce Department's 2021-22 review of the antidumping duty order on frozen warmwater shrimp from India. Judge Thomas Aquilino said Commerce failed to adequately respond to the petitioners' claim that some of exporter Megaa Moda's home market sales weren't made "for consumption" in India. However, the judge sustained Commerce's decision not to offset Megaa Moda's financial expenses by money earned from its "interest subvention program" and fixed deposits with Indian bank Federal Bank Limited.
