(In January 2009, the CIT sustained the final remand determination made by the ITA pursuant to the CIT's remands of the amended final determination of the AD investigation of wooden bedroom furniture from China.)
Certain AD Cash Deposit Rates to be Amended If CIT Decision Not Appealed or Is Upheld
If the CIT's decision is not appealed or is upheld, the ITA would issue an amended final determination with the following revised cash deposit instructions:
| Company |
|---|
| Rui Feng Woodwork Co., Ltd.; Rui Feng Lumber Development Co., Ltd.; and Dorbest Limited (collectively, Dorbest) |
| Lung Dong Furniture Co., Ltd./Dongguan Dong He Furniture Co., Ltd. |
| Shing Mark Enterprise Co., Ltd. |
| \"Separate Rate\" Companies (only those who have no superseding rate1) |
1A superseding rate from an administrative review for a more recent review period
2 These rates are the current cash deposit rates from the most recent amended final determination. If these companies should become subject to an administrative review for a more recent review period, that rate will supersede.
(Note that Shanghai Starcorp Furniture Co., Ltd., Starcorp Furniture (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Orin Furniture (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Shanghai Star Furniture Co., Ltd., and Shanghai Xing Ding Furniture Industrial Co., Ltd. (collectively, Starcorp) has a superseding rate from an administrative review for a more recent review period, and is therefore not in the above table.)
(See ITT's Online Archives or 11/12/06 news, 06112235, for BP summary of the ITA's most recent amended final determination and order.)
Suspension of Liquidation Continues
The ITA will continue the suspension of liquidation of enjoined entries pending the exhaustion of all appellate rights.
In its decision in TimkenCo. v. U.S., the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) held that the ITA must publish a notice of a court decision that is not "in harmony" with an ITA determination and must suspend liquidation of entries pending a "conclusive" court decision.
