Vietnamese may face antidumping investigation
Trade adviser says chances of action are ‘high’

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam — Vietnamese furniture exporters might face a U.S. antidumping investigation, a Vietnamese official said at a meeting here.
According to a report on the VietnamNet Bridge Web site, Ngo Van Thoan, Vietnam’s trade counselor in the United States, said the risk of legal action against Vietnamese furniture exporters was “high.”
U.S. importers already pay antidumping duties on Chinese wooden bedroom furniture, but no antidumping petition against Vietnamese furniture imports has been filed with U.S. officials.
Thoan said Vietnamese furniture exports to the United States rose 36% last year to more than $1.2 billion.
