Galva appealed the Amended Final
Determination and Order to the CIT,

Timken Notice
In its decision in Timken,10 as
clarified by Diamond Sawblades,11 the
United States Court of Appeals for the
Federal Circuit held that, pursuant to
section 516A(e) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), Commerce
must publish a notice of a court
decision that is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with
a Commerce determination and must
suspend liquidation of entries pending
a ‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s
December 18, 2019 final judgment
sustaining Commerce’s Second Remand
Results constitutes a final decision of
the Court that is not in harmony with
Commerce’s Amended Final
Determination and Order. This notice is
published in fulfillment of the
publication requirements of Timken.
