Commerce Slashes AD Rate for Separate Rate Respondents in AD Case on Diamond Sawblades
The Commerce Department dropped the antidumping duty rate for three separate rate respondents in the administrative review of the 2016-17 AD duty order on diamond sawblades and parts thereof from China. Submitting its remand results to the Court of International Trade, Commerce cut the rates from 82.05% to 41.03% following separate litigation at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Bosun Tools Co. v. U.S. (Danyang Weiwang Tools Manufacturing Co. v. U.S., CIT # 19-00006).

Separate rate respondents Danyang Weiwang Tools Manufacturing Co., Quanzhou Zhongzhi Diamond Tool Co. and Chengdu Huifeng New Material Technology Co. will receive the new rate, should the trade court sustain it.
The original 82.05% rate was based on the non-selected respondents' rate in the previous AD review. Following Bosun's challenge, Commerce sought, and the court granted, a voluntary remand to change the rate (see 2301170029). The agency said it pulled the new 41.03% rate into the present case, though it will not issue revised cash deposit instructions for Chengdu Huifeng and Quanzhou Zhongzhi because cash deposit instructions have been superseded by later reviews.
