CIT Sustains Lower China Tapered Roller Bearing AD Rate for CPZ on Second Try

The Court of International Trade sustained on Aug. 30 the final results of the 2006-07 antidumping duty administrative review on tapered roller bearings from China, having remanded twice previously. In response to the second remand in August 2012 (see 12080304), the Commerce Department calculated an AD rate for Changshan Peer Bearing that is not a penalty rate based on adverse facts available. The agency also created a “constructed export price” for price comparisons after finding it couldn’t rely on the original prices for the merchandise. The court-approved version sets Changshan Peer Bearing’s (CPZ) AD rate at 6.5%, down from 92.84% in the final results and 60.95% after the first remand.
