      commenced under section 1581 or 1582 of this title; and
        (2) for or against the United States or any other party in any
      counterclaim, cross-claim, or third-party action under section
      1583 of this title.

      (b) If the Court of International Trade is unable to determine
    the correct decision on the basis of the evidence presented in any
    civil action, the court may order a retrial or rehearing for all
    purposes, or may order such further administrative or adjudicative
    procedures as the court considers necessary to enable it to reach
    the correct decision.
      (c)(1) Except as provided in paragraphs (2), (3), (4), and (5) of
    this subsection, the Court of International Trade may, in addition
    to the orders specified in subsections (a) and (b) of this section,
    order any other form of relief that is appropriate in a civil
    action, including, but not limited to, declaratory judgments,
    orders of remand, injunctions, and writs of mandamus and
    prohibition.
      (2) The Court of International Trade may not grant an injunction
    or issue a writ of mandamus in any civil action commenced to review
    any final determination of the Secretary of Labor under section 223
    of the Trade Act of 1974, or any final determination of the
    Secretary of Commerce under section 251 or section 271 of such Act.
      (3) In any civil action involving an application for the issuance
    of an order directing the administering authority or the
    International Trade Commission to make confidential information

    Court of International Trade may issue an order of disclosure only
    with respect to the information specified in such section.
      (4) In any civil action described in section 1581(h) of this
    title, the Court of International Trade may only order the
    appropriate declaratory relief.

    countervailing duty proceeding regarding a class or kind of
    merchandise of a free trade area country (as defined in section
    516A(f)(10) of the Tariff Act of 1930), as determined by the
    administering authority, the Court of International Trade may not
    order declaratory relief.
      (d) If a surety commences a civil action in the Court of

    paid to the importer of record.
