Officials also said that another issue of payment disputes will be raised during the review. Allegedly, Chinese manufacturers and related importers of customs records paid a sum to the law firm representing the US manufacturer. The amount is used to ensure that Chinese manufacturers will not bear higher tax rates during the annual audit.
Peter Koenig, a lawyer for SquireSanders, said the Ministry of Commerce is also aware of this and is very disgusted. But they do not have the authority to manage this matter. Although the matter is protected by the relevant confidentiality agreement, raising the matter in the questionnaire can prompt the party requesting taxation to handle the questionnaire more openly.
Lawyers said they also cannot guarantee that the anti-dumping tax can be terminated, but they believe that the more complete the information ITC has, the more reasonable the conclusions will be. This is an opportunity to terminate the tax, and everyone should spare no effort to fight for it.
Whirlpool Furniture's Cai Shangzhi also said that he will discuss with a group of Chinese manufacturers within this month, and strive to involve as many people as possible in the review process.
An unnamed person in the American industry pointed out that the tax was generated purely for political purposes, and real dumping did not actually exist. At the same time, he questioned the phenomenon that Stanley Furniture Company both imported Chinese furniture and obtained compensation from the Byrd Amendment. Apart from Vaughn Bassett, most local manufacturers did not use the compensation from the Byrd Amendment for factory construction.
Another industry consultant, who asked not to be named, pointed out sharply that both parties who support and oppose the tax are only short-sighted to safeguard their own interests. Manufacturers hope to increase their competitiveness by increasing taxes on imported goods, but they have not further invested in their own manufacturing plants at the same time, and have not created more competitive products. Retailers rely on low prices for foreign products to make more profits, but they do not have a good expansion of the distribution network, which has caused the US retail industry to be scattered. "Inferior and boring" products are flooded.
Representatives of domestic manufacturers in the United States, the American Committee for Legal Manufacturers of Furniture (AmericanFurnitureManufacturersCommitteeforLegalTrade) declined to comment on Monday's meeting.
Retailers, importers and manufacturers at the High Point Exhibition are flexing their muscles and shouting their flags to end the imposition of anti-dumping duties on wooden bedroom furniture produced in China.
About 25 representatives of relevant interest groups gathered at Best Western in downtown High Point on Monday to discuss the results of the upcoming sunset review. The government is currently reviewing.
The sunset review is conducted with the anti-dumping tax levied for 5 years to determine whether the tax needs to be reviewed.
The anti-dumping case originated from the anti-dumping investigation by the US government in 2005, when it was ruled that the US furniture manufacturing industry was damaged by the improper prices of Chinese-made bedroom furniture. So the US Department of Commerce decided to impose anti-dumping duties on bedroom furniture from China. The tax rate varies from zero to 216% depending on the manufacturer, but the tax is paid by the relevant importer recorded by the customs. Many importers and retailers object to this because they will have to raise the final price of the finished product.
The Ministry of Commerce has publicly stated that it supports the continuation of the tax, otherwise the dumping will likely continue.
But the US International Trade Commission (ITC) is preparing for a thorough review, which is expected to take up to a year. It mainly analyzes whether the manufacturing industry in the United States and the United States continues to be damaged by imports.
The people gathered here on Monday said they will file a lawsuit to show that anti-dumping duties have not helped the domestic industry survive and develop. They are also preparing to show that domestic manufacturers have not used the anti-dumping tax to invest in their operations.
The Furniture Retailers of America (TheFurnitureRetailersofAmerica) issued a statement against the tax six years ago, and is now established again to conduct this activity through the services of a law firm in Washington, Washington & Williams. Chinese manufacturer led by George Tsai, chairman of the board of directors of Fairmont Designs, also hired another Washington law firm, SquireSanders. Representatives of the two law firms attended the meeting on Monday.
Keith Koenig, the representative of the American Furniture Retailers Union, President of CityFurniture, delivered a speech. On behalf of a group of importers, he strongly opposed anti-dumping duties for another five years and demanded free trade.
Speakers said that the response of relevant stakeholders to a questionnaire survey conducted by ITC in July will determine the outcome of the sunset review. The questionnaire survey will be recalled in early August at the latest. They hope that importers, buyers and manufacturers will answer these questionnaires in detail and persuasively, because this is crucial. The focus of the debate is what questions the questionnaire will have.

A shower is a place in which a person bathes under a spray of typically warm or hot water. Indoors, there is a drain in the floor. Most showers have temperature, spray pressure and adjustable showerhead nozzle. The simplest showers have a swivelling nozzle aiming down on the user, while more complex showers have a showerhead connected to a hose that has a mounting bracket. This allows the showerer to hold the showerhead by hand to spray the water at different parts of their body. A shower can be installed in a small shower stall or bathtub with a plastic shower curtain or door.
