CIT OK's Single Surrogate Company in 1st China Lined Paper AD Review

Following the first AD administrative review of certain lined paper products from India, Indonesia, and China, for the period April 17, 2006 through August 31, 2007, the Court of International Trade agreed with domestic producers that the International Trade Administration had failed to articulate a rational connection between the record evidence and its selection of a single Indian company for surrogate financial ratios.

In a remand redetermination, the ITA again found the single Indian company the best source of surrogate financial ratios, but the CIT this time accepted the finding as supported by substantial evidence. (Slip Op. 11-101, dated 08/11/11)
