Ruling issued on Chinese innersprings
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, February 9, 2009
WASHINGTON — The U.S. International Trade Commission ruled late last month that uncovered innerspring units from China were sold in the United States at less than fair value, clearing the way to impose antidumping duties.
Duties, paid by importers, would range from about 165% to 235% on uncovered mattress innerspring units imported to the United States.
Last year, the Department of Commerce ruled that innerspring imports from South Africa and Vietnam also were sold at less than fair value, imposing duties of 116% on Vietnamese product and 121% on South African product.
U.S. innerspring producer Leggett & Platt filed the antidumping petition in 2007 that launched the current ITC investigations. Its petition alleged that innersprings from China, Vietnam and South Africa were being illegally dumped.
