WASHINGTON – The U.S. International Trade Commission has determined a schedule for the final phase of its antidumping and countervailing duty investigation that will determine whether the U.S. cabinet industry has been materially injured by imports of Chinese-made wooden cabinets and vanities.
The U.S. Department of Commerce has preliminarily determined that these items are being sold into the U.S. market at less than fair value, which is considered a violation of international trade laws.
The ITC is in the process of finalizing its material injury investigation to determine whether such imports have negatively affected the U.S. industry.
The commission will hold a hearing on the matter on Feb. 20, 2020, at the U.S. International Trade Commission building in Washington. Requests to appear at this hearing should be filed in writing with the Secretary to the Commission on or before Feb. 14. All parties wanting to attend and/or speak at the hearing should participate in a prehearing conference to be held Feb. 18, 2020, at the U.S. ITC building.
The deadline for prehearing briefs is Feb. 13, 2020, and the deadline for post hearing briefs is Feb. 27, 2020.
On March 18, 2020, the ITC will make available to all parties all information on which they have not had an opportunity to comment. Parties may submit final comments on this information on or before March 20, 2020, but such final comments may not include any new factual information.
