New shipper reviews delayed
By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, September 15, 2008
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Commerce has delayed the final results of a new shipper review for two Chinese wood bedroom producers until Oct. 24.
The two shippers are Dongguan Mu Si Furniture Co. and Dongguan Bon Ten Furniture Co. In a June 6 ruling, Mu Si received a preliminary duty of 103.55% and Bon Ten received a 0% duty.
The DOC extended the review for 60 days in response to issues Mu Si and the petitioners have raised regarding their shipments.
The final duties assigned to these companies will apply to wood bedroom furniture shipments made to the U.S. between Jan. 1 and July 1 of 2007. The final duties for the review period in question are to be paid by companies that import from these factories.
In addition, the DOC said it will conduct a new shipper review for Chinese manufacturer Shanghai Fangjia to determine its antidumping duty on wooden bedroom furniture.
The Chinese company filed a request to have its duty reduced. In the filing, it said that it had purchased all of the wooden bedroom furniture it exported from Brilliant Furniture.
Until a new rate is set, importers of wooden bedroom furniture from Shanghai Fangjia must continue to post a cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties at the current China-wide rate of 216.01%.
