U.S. Trade Association Appeals CIT Ruling on China Fresh Garlic Surrogate Values

The Fresh Garlic Producers Association (FGPA) filed an appeal of the Court of International Trade’s June 11 ruling in Jinxiang Hejia Co. v. United States, according to an Aug. 22 Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit docketing notice. In the appealed ruling, CIT affirmed the zero AD rate assigned to Chinese plaintiff Jinxiang Heija Co. in the second remand redetermination of a new shipper review of the antidumping duty order on fresh garlic from China (A-570-831). The International Trade Administration originally assigned Jinxiang Hejia an AD rate of 15.37%. At issue in the decision was the ITA’s use of price data when calculating surrogate values.
