NAFTA Remands Results of 2005-06 Canada Wire Rod Review for Zeroing Explanation

A NAFTA panel remanded, in part, the final results of the International Trade Administration’s 2005-06 administrative review of the antidumping duty order on carbon and certain alloy steel wire rod from Canada (A-122-840) on May 11, 2012, according to the ITA. While the NAFTA panel affirmed certain aspects of the ITA’s final results, it remanded the final results to the ITA to explain its statutory interpretation underlying its approach of granting offsets for non-dumped sales (i.e., not zeroing) in original investigations while denying such offsets (i.e, zeroing) in administrative reviews in a manner consistent with Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit precedent.
