CIT sustains ITC remand results in freight rail couplers injury case

The U.S. Court of International Trade sustained the U.S. International Trade Commission's remand results in Wabtec Corp. v. United States, Consol. Court No. 23-00157, Slip Op. 26-110, upholding the Commission's determinations that appropriate circumstances do not exist to exclude Amsted from the domestic industry and that the domestic industry was materially injured by reason of freight rail couplers from China sold at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of China. The court rejected plaintiffs Wabtec and Strato's challenges to Commissioner Kearns's further analysis and to the affirmative material-injury determination.
