CIT sustains Commerce scope ruling that Chinese-origin cabinets further processed in Malaysia remain covered by AD/CVD orders

In Slip Op. 26-39, Court No. 24-00155, the U.S. Court of International Trade sustained Commerce's final scope determination for the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on wooden cabinets and vanities and components thereof from the People's Republic of China as applied to further processing in Malaysia, denying ACProducts, Inc. and related plaintiffs' motion for judgment on the agency record. Commerce found that Scenario 1, 2 and 3 cabinets produced in China and combined in Malaysia with Malaysian-made cabinet parts are Chinese in origin and covered by the orders, while Scenario 4 cabinets containing a Chinese toe kick and otherwise Malaysian parts are third-country in origin and not covered.
