Cir. 2025), Commerce discontinued the Cohen's d test and applied a new three-step differential pricing analysis, revising Universal Tube and Plastic Industries' weighted-average dumping margin from 2.63% to 3.64%. The court also accepted Commerce's explanation for applying both the inter-quarter and same-quarter comparisons in the same review.

The motion challenged the court's March 13, 2026 opinion and order in Tianjin Magnesium I, which sustained in part and remanded in part Commerce's final results of the antidumping duty administrative review of pure magnesium from China for the period May 1, 2022, through April 30, 2023. The court found the plaintiffs misread its earlier opinion, conflating Bulgarian export data with production data, and that they failed to show reconsideration was necessary.
The U.S. Court of International Trade denied Chattem Chemicals, Inc.'s motion to intervene in Salvi Chemical Industries Ltd. v. United States, Court No. 26-02569, Slip Op. 26-93, an action challenging Commerce's final results of the antidumping duty changed circumstances review of the glycine order from China, 91 Fed. Reg. 10,588. The court held Chattem was an interested party as a domestic glycine producer but was not a party to the changed circumstances review, having entered its appearance on June 3, 2026, and that permissive intervention is unavailable in actions under 28 U.S.C. § 1581(c); its June 22, 2026 motion was also untimely.

The expiry review found that dumping and injury to China's single-mode optical fiber industry would likely continue or recur if the measure were terminated.

United States, Slip Op. 26-92, Consol. Court No. 23-00239, issued August 12, 2026. Commerce reconstructed its tier-three benchmark to include world sedimentary-origin phosphate rock price data from Iran and Togo that had previously been excluded solely on the distinction between igneous and sedimentary ore, and calculated that JSC Apatit received no measurable benefit for the provision of mining rights for less than adequate remuneration, resulting in a total subsidy rate of 22.86 percent ad valorem for the period of review.
The U.S. Court of International Trade denied Archer Daniels Midland Company's motion to complete the administrative record in Consolidated Court No. 23-00239, Slip Op. 26-91, dated August 12, 2026. ADM sought to add its March 30, 2026, Rebuttal Comments in Response to The Mosaic Company's Submission of New Factual Information, which were not in the record because ADM's counsel E-filed them under the first administrative review proceeding rather than the second remand proceeding, so Commerce did not consider them in the remand redetermination.
The U.S. Court of International Trade, in Slip Op. 26-90, Consol. Court No. 24-00190, granted motions for judgment on the agency record filed by Hyundai Steel Company, Dongkuk Steel Mill Co., Ltd. and the Government of the Republic of Korea and remanded Commerce's final results in the 2022 countervailing duty administrative review of certain cut-to-length carbon-quality steel plate from the Republic of Korea for further explanation or reconsideration.

The court held the proposed intervenors had piggyback standing because they seek only affirmance of the determination, the same relief as the government, and qualify as interested parties under 28 U.S.C. § 2631(j)(1)(B).
The U.S. Court of International Trade granted the motions of Nucor Corporation, Steel Dynamics, Inc., United States Steel Corporation and the United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO, CLC to intervene as defendant-intervenors in Kemper AIP Metals, LLC and Waelzholz Brasmetal Laminação Ltda. v.

The U.S. Court of International Trade sustained Commerce's second remand redetermination in the final scope ruling on certain carbon steel butt-weld pipe fittings from China, holding that rough fittings produced in China that underwent sizing/reforming or heat- or cold-treating and finishing in Vietnam fall within the antidumping duty order. The ruling covers the two Vietnam production scenarios in the covered merchandise referral, EAPA Consolidated Case Number 7335 (Remand Number 7717), involving Norca Industrial Company, LLC and International Piping & Procurement Group, LP. The court's decision is Slip Op. 26-83 in Consol. Court No. 23-00231, dated July 29, 2026.
The U.S. Court of International Trade sustained in part and remanded in part Commerce's amended final results in the 2022-2023 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain activated carbon from China, Consol. Court No. 24-00262, Slip Op. 26-84, dated July 29, 2026. The court found Commerce's selection of Malaysia as the primary surrogate country unsupported and remanded that issue. The amended final results, at 89 Fed. Reg. 104,978, calculated weighted-average dumping margins of $1.90/kg for Jilin Bright, $1.10/kg for GHC and $1.35/kg for non-selected companies under review.

Court No. 23-00187. The remand followed the CAFC's decision in Marmen III, 134 F.4th 1334 (Fed. Cir. 2025), which vacated Commerce's use of the Cohen's d test; Commerce replaced it with a price difference test as the first step of its differential pricing analysis.
The U.S. Court of International Trade, in Slip Op. 26-81 dated July 27, 2026, sustained in part and remanded in part Commerce's final affirmative countervailing duty determination on melamine from Qatar, 89 Fed. Reg. 97,593 (Dec. 9, 2024), in Court No. 25-00053. The court sustained Commerce's rejection of QAFCO's reconciliation of unreported electricity and water usage at verification, but remanded for reconsideration of the 16% adverse facts available subsidy rate for electricity and water and the benefit determination for land rights. Commerce had calculated 8% ad valorem for electricity, 8% ad valorem for water, and 1.71% ad valorem for certain land rights.

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.

The court sustained the Final Determination.

Court No. 19-00122, Slip Op. 26-77, dated July 21, 2026. On remand Commerce reopened the record, netted out C$5,317,890 from the category "Lumber (Unaffiliated Canadian Suppliers) - Resold," and revised D&G/Portbec's overall subsidy rate down to 1.05 percent from 1.75 percent, still above de minimis. The court also upheld Commerce's refusal to deduct secondary processing costs for remanufactured lumber, finding the argument forfeited.
The U.S. Court of International Trade sustained Commerce's Third Remand Results in the 2019-2020 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on circular welded carbon steel pipes and tubes from Thailand, holding that Commerce's application of an adverse inference to the affiliation determination between Saha Thai Steel Pipe Public Company Limited and its home-market customer BNK Steel Co. Ltd. is supported by substantial evidence and in accordance with law. The case is Saha Thai Steel Pipe Pub. Co. v. United States, Slip Op. 26-76, Court No. 21-00627, decided July 17, 2026. The underlying review is the final determination published at 86 Fed. Reg. 69620.

No. 21-00219, Slip Op. 26-75, upholding the Commission's finding that subsidized imports of phosphate fertilizer from Morocco and Russia materially injured U.S. producers. The court held that an agency may disagree with a remand order so long as its conclusions on the remanded issues are supported by substantial evidence, and found the Commission's findings on domestic reshipment capacity, import volume, price effects and causation supported by the record.
The U.S. Court of International Trade sustained in part and remanded in part Commerce's final results in the antidumping duty administrative review of chlorinated isocyanurates from China for the period June 1, 2022, through May 31, 2023, in Bio-Lab, Inc. v. United States, Court No. 25-00054, Slip Op. 26-74. The court upheld Commerce's determination that Mexico was not at the same level of economic development as China during the period of review and remanded on whether chlorinated isos are unusual or unique merchandise under Policy Bulletin 04.1 and whether calcium hypochlorite and sodium hypochlorite are comparable merchandise for surrogate country selection.
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal initiated an expiry review (RR-2026-004) of its orders made on August 6, 2021, in expiry review RR-2020-003, to determine whether expiry of the orders is likely to lead to continued or resumed dumping of refined sugar originating in or exported from the United States, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, or subsidizing of those goods originating in or exported from the European Union, and is likely to result in injury to the domestic industry.
The U.S. Court of International Trade, in Slip Op. 26-71 dated July 1, 2026, denied the USW's motion for judgment on the agency record in Court No. 25-00004, sustaining Commerce's final affirmative antidumping determination on truck and bus tires from Thailand, 89 Fed. Reg. 83636. The union had argued that Commerce failed to explain why it did not apply an adverse inference to Prinx Chengshan Tire (Thailand) Co., Ltd.'s reporting of financial expenses when calculating the financial expense ratio. The court held that Commerce's decisional path was reasonably discernible and that the determination was supported by substantial evidence and in accordance with law.
The U.S. Court of International Trade granted plaintiffs' motion for judgment on the agency record in American Brass Rod Fair Trade Coalition v.

The court found Commerce did not reasonably address concerns about the work-in-progress inventory adjustment and the scrap offset methodology. The remand concerns the final determination published at 89 Fed. Reg. 29,300.
The U.S. Court of International Trade sustained in part and remanded in part Commerce's second remand redetermination in the less-than-fair-value investigation of forged steel fluid end blocks from Germany, in Ellwood City Forge Co. v.

BGH Edelstahl Siegen GmbH asked the court to reject Commerce's particular market situation adjustments for subsidized electricity rates and imported ferrochrome inputs, and Ellwood asked the court to reject Commerce's construction of 19 U.S.C. § 1677b(f)(1)(A) and to remand for reconsideration of that pathway. The court sustained in part and remanded in part the second remand redetermination.
The Canadian International Trade Tribunal found in inquiry NQ-2025-008 that the dumping and subsidizing of thermoformed molded fibre tableware originating in or exported from China have caused injury to the domestic industry, and anti-dumping and countervailing duties will therefore be collected by the Canada Border Services Agency.

The opinion does not state the remand results or any revised rates.

United States, Slip Op. 26-67, Court No. 24-00085. 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.
