Chinese Exporters to Appeal CIT Decision Upholding Use of China-Wide Rate in AD Review on Tires

Exporters China Manufacturer Alliance and Double Coin Holdings will appeal a July Court of International Trade opinion upholding the Commerce Department's decision to assign Double Coin the 105.31% China-wide dumping rate in an administrative review of the AD order on off-the-road tires from China. Per the notice of appeal, the companies will take the case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In the case, the trade court said that the decision comports with the court's past decision finding that Double Coin did not rebut the presumption of Chinese state control over its export activities (see 2307200020) (China Manufacturers Alliance v. United States, CIT # 15-00124).
