What a bunch of CRAP. This whole anti-dumping is a joke. The money they get goes right back to American manufacturers and helps their bottom line. It was intended to help the workers lost and for companies to use the money to invest in them. Hasn't happened and not going to. Nobody including the Government doesn't even look at how the money is used nor are they required to. Almost like stimulous dollars for furniture manufacturers.

Yes, it takes government bureaucrats to determine that 29.98% is wrong and 29.89% is right. Check further and you'll find out that most of these factories stopped making bedroom furniture.
Let's go visit the Anti-American-Imperialism and War Crime Museum while we transfer that bedroom production to Vietnam.
