Duties Continue on Chinese File Cabinets
The U.S. is keeping the antidumping (AD) and countervailing (CVD) duty orders on vertical metal file cabinets from China. If you import or sell these file cabinets, you will continue to face extra import duties under those orders.
Protection for U.S. File Cabinet Industry
Commerce and the ITC found that removing the AD and CVD orders would likely cause dumping, countervailable subsidies, and material injury to a U.S. industry. The continuation of the orders is intended to protect U.S. producers of vertical metal file cabinets from those harms.
