Trade Court Remands Fabricated Structural Steel AD Case in Confidential Opinion

The Court of International Trade remanded the Commerce Department's final determination in the antidumping duty investigation on fabricated structural steel from Mexico. In a March 21 letter on the March 18 confidential opinion, Judge Claire Kelly said the court intends to release a public version March 29 following a period wherein the litigants may review bracketed confidential information. Building Systems de Mexico (BSM) had challenged multiple aspects of Commerce's constructed value in the investigation. One such issue concerns the agency's decision to use a 45.42% combined home market selling expense and profit rate as BSM's constructed value indirect selling expense and profit rate (Building Systems de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. v. United States, CIT #20-00069).
