Record transmission obligation under anti-dumping procedure required the designated authority to furnish appeal records and appear in proceedings.

Rule 6 of the CEGAT (Countervailing Duty and Anti-dumping Duty) Procedure Rules, 1996 requires the designated authority, on receipt of notice of appeal, to transmit to the Tribunal the records and proceedings leading to the appeal, including confidential information where applicable. Because the designated authority had not entered appearance and had not complied with that procedural obligation despite service of notice, it was directed to make available the entire records to the Tribunal and to participate in the proceedings.
