Kisaan will receive a 4.13% AD rate; exporter Echjay Forgings Private Limited, 1.7%; exporter Bebitz Flanges Works Private Limited, 74.3%; and the non-individually selected respondents, 5.2%. Judge Timothy Stanceu granted the judgment by stipulation.
The Commerce Department initially selected only one respondent in the review. In December, the trade court ruled against Commerce's use of a 145.24% adverse facts available rate on the lone respondent in setting the rates for 15 non-individually examined companies (see 2312110043). The parties said that after the decision, they reached an agreement on how to resolve the case (see 2405240071).
