Stanley Black & Decker Ditches Case on Section 232 'Derivative' Duties After High Court Rejection

American tool maker Stanley Black & Decker moved to toss its case challenging President Donald Trump's expansion of Section 232 steel and aluminum duties onto "derivative" products after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to review the move in a separate case from PrimeSource Building Products. Stanley Black & Decker said it's "no longer necessary for" the Court of International Trade to render a decision in the case, which has been stayed pending resolution of PrimeSource's case. The tool maker moved to toss the case despite a second petition at the Supreme Court from exporter Oman Fasteners (see 2311010052). The trade court granted the motion to dismiss the same day (Stanley Black & Decker v. U.S., CIT # 21-00262).
