Plywood Exporter Signs Off on Remand Results

The Commerce Department's remand results correctly complied with the remand order issued by the Court of International Trade, plywood exporter Interglobal Forest said in its Aug. 14 reply. On remand, Commerce concluded that hardwood plywood made using two-ply panels imported into Vietnam from China before being reexported to the U.S. by the Vietnam Finewood Company Ltd. were outside the scope of antidumping and countervailing duty orders on hardwood plywood from China (Far East American v. U.S., CIT Consol. # 22-00049).

Interglobal noted there was "no basis" for Commerce to issue its remand results "under protest," echoing comments made by plaintiffs Far East American and Liberty Woods International in their July response to the remand results (see 2307200009).
