CIT Finally Affirms AD Rate for 2004-05 Italy Pasta Respondent Atar on Third Try

The Court of International Trade finally affirmed the final results of 2004-05 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain pasta from Italy (A-475-818) on the International Trade Administration’s third try. After previous rulings had affirmed the ITA’s decision to use constructed value to calculate Atar S.r.l.’s AD rate instead of normal value because Atar had no viable home market or third-country comparison, CIT affirmed the ITA’s calculation of Atar’s profit rate and indirect selling expense rate, both of which are components of constructed value. Accordingly, Atar’s AD rate fell from the 18.18% final results rate to the 11.76% AD rate in this third remand redetermination.
