Antidumping duty respondent Asia Pacific Fibers was hit with AFA because a supplemental questionnaire it filled out in lieu of a visit from a Commerce official was inadequate (see 2202150027). Hower, the department failed to notify the yarn exporter of any deficiencies prior to releasing its final results, so those results were remanded to it in December with instruction by the Court of International Trade to give Asia Pacific a chance to correct the record (see 2312130031).
In its status update, the U.S. said Commerce “has made significant progress in complying with the Remand Order,” having compiled all of the deficiencies in Asia Pacific’s questionnaire responses and provided that list to the exporter in a letter. After being granted several extensions, Asia Pacific responded in March with more than 800 pages of information, the government said.
The trade court ordered Commerce in April to update it by May 16 with the date it expected a final redetermination to be ready.
