Reference to HOME MERIDIAN INTERNATIONAL, INC. D/B/A Samuel Lawrence Furniture Co. and Import Services, Inc., Plaintiffs, Great Rich (HK) Enterprises Co., Ltd., Dongguan Liaobushangdun Huada Furniture Factory, Nanhai Baiyi Woodwork Co., Ltd., and Dalian Huafeng Furniture Group Co., Ltd., Consolidated Plaintiffs, v. UNITED STATES, Defendant, American Furniture Manufacturers Committee for Legal Trade and Vaughan-Bassett Furniture Company, Inc., Intervenor Defendants (2012 CIT 120) strengthens a ASEAN Law answer because the case reflects the principle that Use this case as a source-verified research checkpoint rather than an invented rule statement.

Applied to a problem question, the case should be used after identifying the issue as What ASEAN Law issue does the source record raise, and how should a student verify the rule, holding, and factual trigger from the linked opinion? The stronger essay move is to connect the material facts to the court's holding, then explain whether the present facts support the same conclusion or justify distinguishing the authority.
