Exporter to Appeal CIT Decisions Affirming Scope Ruling in AD/CVD Orders on Steel Trailer Wheels

Steel trailer wheel exporter Zhejiang Jingu Co. will appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit two court decisions on the Commerce Department's scope revision in antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on steel trailer wheels from China, according to the pair of notices of appeal. In November 2021, the Court of International Trade upheld Commerce's inclusion of steel trailer wheels coated in chrome through a physical vapor deposition process under the ADD/CVD orders on steel trailer wheels while also dropping the retroactive imposition of the duties on subject merchandise (see 2111180043). One case concerns the antidumping duty order and the other is on the countervailing duty order (Trans Texas Tire v. U.S., CIT #19-00188, -00189).
