CIT remands Commerce redeterminations on freight rail couplers from China
Wabtec Corp. v. United States
The U.S. Court of International Trade remanded Commerce's antidumping and countervailing redeterminations in the investigations of freight rail couplers from China, Court No. 23-00160 and Court No. 23-00161, in Slip Op. 26-122 dated October 8, 2026. The court found Commerce again failed to adequately explain its decision not to exclude attached freight rail couplers from the scope and did not reasonably address Wabtec's argument that attached couplers cannot cause cognizable injury. Commerce had continued to find on remand that attached couplers were properly included in the scope of the orders.
Importers of freight rail couplers from China covered by these orders remain subject to the existing scope while Commerce reconsiders or further explains its decision not to exclude attached couplers.
