19 U.S.C. 1581(c) - JUDICIAL REVIEW OF ANTIDUMPING & COUNTERVAILING DUTY DETERMINATIONS ISSUED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE

摘要

While the U.S. Court of International Trade ("CIT") decided many notable cases on novel legal issues in 2006, it also clarified the law on several traditional trade remedy issues regarding the administration of antidumping and countervailing duty laws by the U.S. Department of Commerce ("Commerce" or the "Department"). The Court addressed such important areas of the law as the use of adverse facts available ("AFA"), the legality of the Commerce Department's "zeroing" practice, and many other aspects of antidumping ("AD") and countervailing duty ("CVD") calculations. Additionally, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ("CAFC") overruled the CIT on several notable trade remedy subjects, often deferring to the methodology or determination of the Department.
