Three Chinese multilayered wood flooring shippers did not sell covered merchandise at less than normal value in the U.S., according to the results of a federal New Shipper Review published in the Federal Register earlier this month.
The three companies—Dalian Huade Wood Product Co. Ltd., Linyi Bonn Flooring Manufacturing Co. Ltd. and Zhejiang Fuerjia Wooden Co. Ltd.—had their dumping margins lowered to zero as a result of the New Shipper Review.
Prior to the review, the companies' dumping margins were set as to the rate for a "PRC-Wide Entity," which was 58.84 percent on May 9.
The antidumping action was initiated in 2010 by the Coalition for American Hardwood Parity, which alleged that engineered wood flooring was being sold in the U.S. at prices lower than normal and that Chinese manufacturers had gained an unfair advantage.
The coalition included Anderson Hardwood Floors LLC, Award Hardwood Floors, Baker’s Creek Wood Floors Inc., From the Forest, Howell Hardwood Flooring, Mannington Mills Inc., Nydree Flooring and Shaw Industries Group Inc.
