The Commerce Department looks set to recognize the name change of an Indian company for the purposes of an antidumping duty order on silicomanganese from India (A-533-823). The agency preliminarily found that NAVA Limited is the successor-in-interest to Nava Bharat Ventures Limited (NBVL), in the preliminary results of a changed circumstances review. The agency preliminarily found NAVA Limited continues to operate as the same business entity despite the name change. If Commerce confirms its finding in the final results, NAVA Limited may inherit the AD duty rates assigned to NBVL in the AD review.
Daniel Pickard, partner at Buchanan Ingersoll, was silent at an Oct. 19 preliminary conference at the International Trade Commission over allegations from Amsted Rail Co. (ARC), his former client while working at Wiley Rein, that he violated certain ethical considerations. ARC took to both the ITC and the Court of International Trade to argue that Pickard betrayed the company by releasing its business proprietary information to attorneys and non-attorney staff at his new firm, Buchanan, since he now represents parties with adverse interests to ARC (see 2210170084). ARC raised the issue right off the bat at the preliminary conference, but Pickard did not address the allegations, only carrying on with arguments pertaining to proving that imports of freight rail couplers and their parts from China and Mexico injured the domestic industry.

The Commerce Department is beginning new antidumping duty investigations on freight rail couplers from China and Mexico, as well as a new countervailing duty investigation on freight rail couplers from China, it said in a fact sheet Oct. 19. The underlying petition was filed Sept. 28 (see 2209300052). The International Trade Commission is scheduled to make its preliminary injury determinations by Nov. 14. These AD/CV duty investigations will only continue if the ITC finds injury. The request for AD/CV duties on China follows the termination of AD/CVD investigations in July after the ITC found no injury in those investigations, despite Commerce having found dumping and illegal subsidization. International Trade Today will provide more details upon publication of the initiation notices in the Federal Register.
