CIT denies motion to backdate statutory injunction in Vietnamese honey antidumping case

Ban Me Thuot Honeybee JSC v. United States

AI summary

The U.S. Court of International Trade denied a motion by Bao Nguyen Honeybee Co., Ltd. and eight other Vietnamese exporters to amend the statutory injunction in Court No. 25-00085 nunc pro tunc so that it would be effective as of August 8, 2025, the date they first moved for an injunction. The court held that the Federal Circuit's Agro Dutch exception does not apply because the liquidation at issue is alleged to have occurred before the injunction was entered, not during a post-entry grace period, and the plaintiff-intervenors did not show that the parties or the court intended the injunction to cover entries liquidated before it took effect.
