CIT Partially Remands Decision to Countervail Vietnam Currency Devaluation

The Court of International Trade in a confidential Oct. 18 order sustained in part and remanded in part the Commerce Department's countervailing duty investigation on passenger vehicle and light truck tires from Vietnam. Judge Timothy Reif gave the parties until Oct. 25 to review the confidential information in the decision for potential bracketing. The suit was brought by exporter Kumho Tire (Vietnam), which received a 7.89% CVD rate and claimed that Commerce can't countervail Vietnam's currency valuation practices (see 2206030027) (Kumho Tire (Vietnam) Co. v. United States, CIt # 21-00397).
