Event Review
On March 6, 2019, the American Kitchen Cabinet Alliance (AKCA) filed a complaint requesting the federal Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission to initiate a double counter-investigation of the above-mentioned imports from China. The grounds are that manufacturers of Chinese products receive illegal government subsidies and are unfairly priced to constitute dumping in the U.S. market, causing losses of between $2 billion and $4 billion to similar manufacturing industries in the United States.
On March 27, 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced the initiation of an anti-dumping and countervailing investigation into Chinese imports of wooden cabinets and bathroom cabinets to determine whether the aforementioned products were dumped into the U.S. market.
On August 6, 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce made a preliminary determination and announced that countervailing duties were imposed on imports of $4.4 billion (approximately RMB 31 billion) worth of Chinese cabinets at a rate of up to 229.24%. U.S. Customs and Border Protection was required to collect cash deposits from Chinese importers of wood cabinets and dressers based on the determined subsidy rate.
In early October 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced the preliminary findings of an anti-dumping investigation into cabinet and bathroom cabinet products from China.
The American Cabinet Alliance claims that U.S. imports of wood cabinets and bathroom cabinets from China increased by 19.9 percent from January 2016 to January 2018. Imports of cabinets and bathroom cabinets from China accounted for 50 percent of total imports, and the low-cost sales of Chinese cabinets resulted in a loss of $116 million to the U.S. cabinet industry between 2016 and 2018.
This is one of the largest U.S. trade cases filed against China in history.
The final public report in the matter will be released on April 27, 2020. It can be accessed on the USITC website: http : //pubapps.usitc.gov/applications/publogs/qry_publication_loglist.asp.
