U.S. Department of Commerce makes determination on imports of bedroom

The U.S. Department of Commerce has made a preliminary determination that imports of bedroom furniture from China, worth more than $1 billion in 2003, were dumped on the U.S. market.

In its June 18 determination, the department calculated the dumping margins as ranging from less than 5 percent to 198 percent.

Imposition of antidumping duties requires final affirmative determinations both from the Commerce Department that dumping occurred and from the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) that the imports injured or threatened U.S. industry.

The Commerce Department's final determination is expected by November and the USITC's by December. In the meantime, U.S. customs agents will collect a cash deposit or bond on any subject imports equal to the preliminary dumping margins; the money would be returned in the event of a negative determination.
