CIT Sustains Commerce's Exclusion of Some Engines From Chinese AD/CVD Orders

The Court of International Trade on Oct. 2 sustained the Commerce Department's final scope ruling excluding engines with horizontal crankshafts from the scope of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on vertical shaft engines between 99cc and up to 225cc from China. Commerce excluded the engines from the orders on remand from the trade court. Judge Jennifer Choe-Groves said the agency "complied with the Court's remand order" in excluding the engines.
