Commerce excludes them from bedroom scope

WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Commerce has withdrawn wooden toy boxes from the scope of its antidumping order on Chinese-made wooden bedroom furniture.

The decision is in response to a Nov. 25 request from members of the American Furniture Manufacturers for the Committee for Legal Trade, who said they no longer saw a need to have wooden bedroom furniture duties apply to the toy boxes.

A public comment period initiated following that request drew no responses, according to the DOC.

The decision applies to wooden toy boxes imported from China since Jan. 1, 2007. Duties collected on these items will be refunded to importers of record who brought the items into the United States after that date.
