The Customs Rulings Online Search System (CROSS) was updated on Feb. 28 with the following headquarters rulings (ruling revocations and modifications will be detailed elsewhere in a separate article as they are announced in the Customs Bulletin):
Petitioner The Mosaic Company and exporter OCP again traded briefs at the Court of International Trade regarding a countervailing duty review on Moroccan-origin phosphate fertilizer. Each defended its own prior motion for judgment (see 2408120049) (The Mosaic Co. v. U.S., CIT Consol. # 23-00246).
In a March 5 complaint before the Court of International Trade, German importer MTU Maintenance Hannover brought a single claim disputing CBP’s classification of a mid-frame assembly used in GE Aerospace’s LM2500 gas turbine engine. It said it had just sent the U.S.-origin product back for repairs (MTU Maintenance Hannover v. United States, CIT # 25-00023).
The term “butt-weld” is ambiguous, and the Commerce Department was right to find steel branch outlets are covered by an antidumping duty order on butt-weld pipe fittings from China, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled March 6.
Court of International Trade Judge M. Miller Baker affirmed March 7 the Commerce Department’s decision on remand not to grant respondent Gujarat Fluorochemicals a constructed export price offset as part of an antidumping duty investigation into granular polytetrafluorethylene resin from India. The offset was originally intended to make up for the lack of data Commerce needed to adjust Gujarat’s home-market price for different levels of trade. Baker also affirmed Commerce’s choice to rely on Gujarat’s allocated movement expenses, agreeing it wasn’t feasible for the exporter to provide transaction-specific expenses.
