AT&M Appeals Injunction Against Liquidation of Diamond Sawblades from China Entries

Advanced Technology & Materials appealed a March 28 Court of International Trade order granting a preliminary injunction preventing liquidation of entries of diamond sawblades from China that it produced and exported (see 13032902). The entries had been subject to litigation over whether the company should have received a separate rate in the antidumping duty investigation on diamond sawblades from China, but the Commerce Department announced its intent to revoke the AD duty order for AT&M to implement a World Trade Organization ruling against the agency’s use of zeroing. The preliminary injunction prevented liquidation of entries of diamond sawblades from China produced and exported by AT&M, but did not prevent revocation for the company.
