Commerce's Dumping Calculation for Oman Fasteners Was Correct, Steel Distributor Says
Missouri-based steel distributor Mid Continent Steel & Wire will appeal a Feb. 15 opinion by Court of International Trade Judge M. Miller Baker that nullified a "draconian" antidumping duty rate imposed on Oman Fasteners, according to a March 23 notice…
of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. In the CIT case, Baker found that Commerce abused its discretion by using adverse facts available to calculate a dumping rate of 154.33% for Oman Fasteners based on a single filing submitted 16 minutes late (see 2302280040). The case at CIT is still ongoing (Oman Fasteners v, United States, CIT # 22-0348).
