Fairmont Designs, Inc. v. United States

OPINION AND ORDER

POGUE, Judge.

The matter before the court is, in all material respects save for one, identical to the companion case before the court in American Signature, Inc. v. United States, 31 CIT, 477 F.Supp.2d 1281, 2007 WL 470347 (2007)(“American Signature ”). 1 The only difference between the two cases is that during the investigation, Fairmont requested that Commerce issue instructions to Customs to retroactively assess duties at the amended rate, and to return all excess cash deposits and release all excess bonds immediately. 2 See Final Determination, 69 Fed.Reg. at 67,317.…
