Heading: The Decision of the Court of International Trade in DSMC II

Text: Appellants challenged the Remand Determination in the Court of International Trade arguing that the Commission was incorrect when, on remand, it found that there was substantial competition between the subject imports and the domestic like product. The Court of International Trade affirmed the Remand Determination, finding that: (1) substantial evidence supports the finding that competition was not attenuated by blade size, process of manufacture, type of end user, or channel of distribution; (2) substantial evidence supports the finding of flattening demand and increasing subject imports; (3) substantial evidence supports the finding that subject importers had the ability to infiltrate the professional sawblades sector; (4) the decision to cumulate subject imports in its threat analysis was not unreasonable; (5) the Commission's threat finding was based on substantial evidence; and (6) Appellants failed to exhaust their administrative remedies and therefore waived any argument that the Commission failed to apply the Bratsk test. Id. at 7-26; see Bratsk Aluminium Smelter v. United States, 444 F.3d 1369 (Fed.Cir. 2006) (outlining a requirement that the Commission include an explanation of the effect of non-subject imports in a material injury analysis).
