Court No. 15-00164, slip op. 18-145 (CIT Oct. 23, 2018). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Timken Notice In its decision in Timken Co. v. United States, 893 F.2d 337, 341 (Fed. Cir. 1990) (Timken), as clarified by Diamond Sawblades Mfrs. Coalition v. United States, 626 F.3d 1374 (Fed. Cir. 2010), 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 October 23, 2018, final judgment sustaining the second final remand redetermination constitutes the CIT's final decision which is not ``in harmony'' with the Final Results. This notice is published in fulfillment of the publication requirements of Timken. Accordingly, Commerce will continue the suspension of liquidation of the subject merchandise pending expiration of the period to appeal or, if appealed, pending a final and conclusive court decision.
