DOC identifies exporters targeted for next review
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, March 16, 2009
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Commerce has identified nearly 200 Chinese bedroom producers whose 2008 shipments will be the target of the next administrative review of antidumping duties.
The review occurs each year on the anniversary date of the 2005 antidumping order. The companies identified on the list will have their shipments audited to determine whether they warrant any change in the duties they were assigned on wood bedroom furniture shipments for calendar year 2008.
Many of these companies previously have been assigned a 7.24% Section A duty rate. The audit will determine to what extent the pricing on these products warrants a higher or lower duty rate.
Any increase or decrease in the rates would be paid by or refunded to the importers of record from these factories.
The DOC expects to release the final results of the review no later than Jan. 31, 2010.

Meanwhile, the DOC also followed up on an earlier proposal and withdrew wooden toy boxes from the scope of its antidumping order on Chinese-made wooden bedroom furniture. The decision was in response to a Nov. 25 request from members of the American Furniture Manufacturers for the Committee for Legal Trade, who said they no longer saw a need to have wooden bedroom furniture duties apply to the toy boxes.
The decision applies to wooden toy boxes imported from China since Jan. 1, 2007. Duties collected on these items will be refunded to importers of record who brought the items into the United States after that date.
