    Consol. Court No. 97-00260
   JUDGMENT

TSOUCALAS, Senior Judge:

This matter comes before the Court pursuant to the decision of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“CAFC”) in FAG Kugelfischer Georg Schafer AG v. United States, 402 F.3d 1356 (Fed. Cir. 2005) and the CAFC’s mandate dated May 31, 2005, reversing and remanding the judgment of the Court in FAG Kugelfischer Georg Schafer AG v. United States, 25 CIT 74, 131 F. Supp. 2d 104 (2001) and FAG Kugelfischer Georg Schafer AG v. United States, 25 CIT 1038 (2001) (affirming remand results submitted pursuant to FAG Kugelfischer Georg Schafer AG, 25 CIT 74, 131 F. Supp. 2d 104). Based on the CAFC’s decision, the Court remanded this matter to the United States Department of Commerce (“Commerce”). Commerce was instructed to allow FAG Kugelfischer Georg Schafer AG and FAG Bearings Corporation (collectively, “FAG Germany”) an opportunity to demonstrate that its antidumping duty margin was incorrectly determined because Commerce’s use of actual expenses did not account for United States credit and inventory carrying costs in the calculation of total expenses. See Order (July 7, 2005). Commerce filed its Final Results of Redetermination Pursuant to Court Remands (“Remand Results”) on October 5, 2005. Pursuant to the Court’s remand, Commerce invited FAG Germany to show that its dumping margin had been incorrectly determined. See Remand Results at 3. FAG Germany, however, failed to respond to Commerce’s invitation. See id. at 3-4.

Commerce determined FAG Germany’s antidumping duty margins, some which differed slightly from previously determined margins in response to earlier remands from the Court. See id. at 4-5. FAG Germany’s weighted-average percentage margins for the period of May 1, 1994, through April 30, 1995, is 13.42 percent for ball bearings and parts thereof, 22.59 percent for cylindrical roller bearings and parts thereof and 12.08 percent for spherical roller bearings and parts thereof.

This Court, having received and reviewed Commerce’s Remand Results, holds that Commerce duly complied with the Court’s remand order and it is hereby

ORDERED that Commerce’s Remand Results are reasonable, supported by substantial evidence, and is otherwise in accordance with law; and it is further

ORDERED that the Remand Results filed by Commerce on October 5, 2005, are affirmed in their entirety; and it is further

ORDERED that since all other issues have been decided, this case is dismissed.
