CIT Sustains 2005-06 Ball Bearings AD Review

The Court of International Trade sustained the results of a remand redetermination of the final results of the 2005-06 administrative review of ball bearings and parts thereof from France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Singapore, and the United Kingdom (A--427--801, A--428--801, A--475--801, A--588--804, A--559--801, and A--412--801). CIT said the International Trade Administration’s remand redetermination provided adequate explanations to address plaintiff SKF’s concerns that (1) by constructing normal value using the unaffiliated supplier’s costs of production SKF would be unable to adjust its pricing to avoid dumping or decrease its antidumping duty liability because it would lack knowledge of its supplier’s production cost data; and (2) the ITA would apply adverse facts available (AFA) if the unaffiliated supplier failed to provide cost data. The remand was pursuant to a 2011 ruling by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
