The case stems from the EAPA investigation of Columbia Aluminum Products in which CBP found the company was evading the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on aluminum extrusions from China by transshipping the goods through Vietnam. Endura previously filed for a stay, asking the court to stop proceedings until it could appeal a separate CIT ruling in which the court upheld Commerce's decision to exclude Columbia's door thresholds from the scope of the AD/CVD orders (see 2212190051).
