CIT Questions Zeroing, Model Match in Japan Bearings AD Review

Two Japanese producers challenged the redetermination results of a Court of International Trade remand in the sixteenth AD administrative review of ball bearings and parts thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United Kingdom, for the period May, 2004 through April 2005. As it had in the final review results, the International Trade Administration used zeroing (excluding non-dumped price differences in the weighted average dumping margin calculation). The CIT ordered the agency to reconsider that decision and to revisit as well its rejection of one respondent’s proposal to include additional bearing design types in the model match.
