Settlement Would Drop Indian Countertop Exporter's AD Rate From 323.12% to 3.58%

After the Court of International Trade remanded the 323.12% adverse facts available antidumping duty rate received by an Indian quartz countertop exporter that missed a 10 a.m. deadline by five hours during the COVID-19 pandemic (see 2405290065), all parties reached a settlement would see the exporter get a new rate of 3.58% (Cambria Co. v. U.S., CIT Consol. # 23-00007).

While exporter and mandatory respondent Antique Group would see its rate drop to 3.58% for the 2019-2021 administrative review of its products, non-individually selected respondents’ own rates would drop to 1.02% based on the expected method, the motion for stipulated judgment said. Their rate had previously been set at 3.19%.
