    The U.S. Court of International Trade granted motions to intervene as of right in Kemper AIP Metals, LLC v.

    CIT remands Commerce's final AD determination on corrosion-resistant steel from Mexico

    The U.S. Court of International Trade remanded Commerce's final affirmative antidumping duty determination on certain corrosion-resistant steel products from Mexico, covering the July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024 period of investigation, in Galvasid S.A. de C.V. v. United States, Slip Op. 26-80, Court Nos. 25-00235 and 26-00825. The court held that Galvasid's challenge, filed October 28, 2025, was timely under 19 U.S.C. § 1516a(g)(3)(A)(i) because no binational panel review was requested, and dismissed the later complaint in Court No. 26-00825. Commerce had assigned Galvasid a 24.05% weighted-average dumping margin using partial facts available with an adverse inference, amended to 24.09% after a ministerial error correction.

    CIT sustains Commerce remand redetermination in AD review of steel racks from China

    The U.S. Court of International Trade sustained Commerce's remand redetermination in the antidumping duty administrative review of certain steel racks from China for the September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2022 period of review, in Nanjing Dongsheng Shelf Manufacturing Co. v.

On remand Commerce accepted Nanjing Dongsheng's Separate Rate Certification, treated the company as a mandatory respondent and assigned it a 25% weighted-average dumping margin. The court held that Nanjing waived its challenge to Commerce's denial of a scrap offset because it failed to exhaust its administrative remedies by not raising the issue during the remand proceeding.

    CIT remands Commerce's de facto specificity finding in Hyundai Steel CVD review

    The U.S. Court of International Trade, in Slip Op. 26-52, Court No. 23-00211, remanded Commerce's second redetermination in the 2021 administrative review of the countervailing duty order on certain cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate from the Republic of Korea, holding that Commerce's finding that the electricity subsidy Hyundai Steel received was de facto specific under 19 U.S.C. § 1677(5A)(D)(iii)(III) is unsupported by substantial evidence. Commerce had found the Electricity Program specific because Hyundai's share of industrial-class electricity consumption exceeded its contribution to Korea's 2021 GDP. The court ordered further consideration on remand.
