Brooke Ringel Quoted in Trade Law Daily Article on Trade Court’s Affirmation of Commerce’s Rejection of Sahamitr’s Allocation Method for Sales Expenses

International Trade partner Brooke Ringel was quoted in a Trade Law Daily article on the Court of International Trade affirming the Commerce Department’s recalculation of exporter Sahamitr Pressure Container’s sales expenses in the 2019-20 review of the antidumping duty order on steel propane cylinders from Thailand.

Brooke, counsel for petitioner Worthington Industries, said her client is ​“very pleased that the Court affirmed Commerce’s findings. The agency’s thorough investigative efforts in this case, along with its consistent methodological approach, are critical to ensuring the effectiveness of this order for the domestic industry. Without such attention to fact-finding, there is real potential for respondents to avoid accurate dumping margins. Commerce did not let that happen here, and rightfully so.”
