The companies are USPLY and Vincent Wood Joint Stock Company, represented by the Inter-Global Trade Law Group, and Northwest Hardwoods and Richmond International Forest Products, represented by Mowry & Grimson. Greg Menegaz, partner at Inter-Global Trade Law, said in an email that the CVD cases "were seen as unnecessary," since the review was "special and really focused on country of origin."
