Text: Those portions of the CIT’s decision that affirm Commerce’s refusal to fix the clerical error in the valuation of rubberwood that AFMC brought to Commerce’s attention only on remand are affirmed. Those portions of the CIT’s decision holding that Dorbest was precluded from raising its argument that Commerce erred in its treatment of the excise duty expenses of Indian Furniture Products because its earliest presentation of the issue was untimely are also affirmed. Those portions of the CIT’s decision that required Commerce either to justify using all seven Indian surrogate companies for calculating non-production factors or to eliminate from the calculations the four smallest surrogate companies are vacated, and the case is remanded to the CIT for further proceedings to recalculate the non-production factors using all seven surrogate companies. To the extent that 19 C.F.R. § 351.408(c)(3) requires or at least permits the use of labor value data from countries that are not economically comparable to the non-market economy country in question or are not significant producers of merchandise comparable to the merchandise in question when data from countries meeting both criteria are available, the regulation is facially invalid as noncompliant with 19 U.S.C. § 1677b(c)(4)(A). Those portions of the CIT’s decision that affirm Commerce’s reliance on 19 C.F.R. § 351.408(c)(3) are vacated, and the case is remanded to the CIT for further proceedings to determine the labor value using a method that complies with the requirements of 19 U.S.C. § 1677b(c)(4)(A).
