Judge Terminates Part of U.S. Steel's Section 337 Claim
Written by Sandy Williams
U.S. Steel’s Section 337 petition took another blow this week when Administrative Law Judge Dee Lord terminated the trans-shipment claim that accused China of misrepresenting country of origin on steel imports.
Lord had dismissed the claim in January, citing lack of evidence by U.S. Steel to support its allegations. The claim was remanded to Lord by the International Trade Commission to review the circumstantial evidence that U.S. Steel provided, which the ITC decided was sufficient enough to warrant another review.
