CIT Dismisses Another Constitutional Challenge to CDSOA

The Court of International Trade dismissed Koyo Corp.’s bid for funds under the Continued Dumping and Subsidization Offset Act (also known as the Byrd Amendment) for duties collected pursuant to various antidumping duty orders on tapered roller bearings. Koyo, a domestic tapered roller bearing manufacturer, brought constitutional arguments that were identical to those raised in Pat Huval v. U.S. (see 12031204). Just as in Pat Huval, the court dismissed all of Koyo’s claims as foreclosed by precedent.
