The U.S. explanation came after the Court of International Trade, in a paperless order, said it “would like the Defendant to address why the proposed order would enjoin the liquidation of entries made during a date range that extends into the future.”
The U.S. said that products entered during the first review period may be impacted by the outcome of the ongoing case. It noted that the trade court “has granted such injunctions in prior cases, stating that such forward-looking injunctions in cases concerning antidumping duty investigations preserve the status quo during the pendency of the judicial proceeding and prevent irreparable harm to plaintiffs.”
It noted that the court refused to grant such an order in Ashley Furniture v. U.S., but said that case had involved “an injunction of indeterminate scope.”
