The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued its mandate June 16 in two cases contesting whether the Commerce Department properly modified the scope of its antidumping and countervailing duty investigations on quartz surface products from China in response to evasion. Building materials company Bruskin International argued that Commerce was wrong to accept the petitioner's scope request, claiming that the agency should have treated it as a request to amend the petition. In the opinion, the appellate court held that the agency is not bound to the preliminary scope and that it had properly changed the scope under its own authority and not per the petitioner's request (see 2204250029) (M S International, et al. v. U.S., Fed. Cir. #21-1679, -1680).
