Commerce Clamps Down on Chinese Bedroom Furniture Duties
Published Date: 4/13/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce took a close look at wooden bedroom furniture from China for 2024 and found 11 companies didn’t prove they should be treated separately, so they’re grouped with the China-wide entity. They also stopped reviewing 18 other companies. This means some companies might face changes in duties starting April 13, 2026, and everyone can still share their thoughts on these early findings.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
11 Firms Put Into China‑Wide Rate
Commerce preliminarily found 11 Chinese wooden‑bedroom‑furniture firms do not qualify for a separate rate and are part of the China‑wide entity for the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. If the preliminary result stands, entries exported by those companies may be liquidated and assessed at the China‑wide dumping margin of 216.01%. This instruction to U.S. Customs and Border Protection will be issued no earlier than 35 days after the final results publication.
New Cash Deposit Rate for China Exporters
For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication of the final results of this review, China exporters that do not have a separate rate will have a cash deposit rate equal to the China‑wide dumping margin of 216.01%. This cash deposit requirement remains in effect until Commerce states otherwise.
Rescission Means Liquidation At Entry Rate
Commerce is rescinding the review for 16 companies for which all review requests were withdrawn. Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate period‑of‑review entries from those companies at the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry or withdrawal from warehouse, and will issue that instruction no earlier than 35 days after this notice's publication.
Importer Duty‑Reimbursement Certificate Requirement
Importers must file a certificate about whether antidumping duties were reimbursed before liquidation of relevant entries for the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. If importers fail to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and order assessment of double antidumping duties.

They found that Haur Tyi Paper Bag Co. didn’t sell these bags at unfairly low prices, and they stopped reviewing five other companies because no one asked for it. This means no extra duties for Haur Tyi right now, and the review process is moving forward with some deadlines adjusted due to a government shutdown.
