WASHINGTON, D.C. — As part of the ongoing antidumping issue, the U.S. Department of Commerce said on Thursday that it has agreed not to perform an annual administrative review of 2009 shipments for 171 Chinese wood bedroom manufacturers.
In January the DOC opened a period for furniture companies involved in the antidumping matter to request a review.
The review determines whether the duty rates assigned to Chinese producers for their 2009 wood bedroom furniture shipments need to be adjusted. These rates are paid by companies that import the goods to the U.S.
The list of companies that will not now be reviewed include:
