Notice of initiation of administrative review: Upholstered Domestic Seating (UDS 2024 UP6)
Ottawa,
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has today initiated an administrative review of the normal values and export of certain upholstered domestic seating (UDS) originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China (China) and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam), and exported by the following exporters:
- Delancey Street Furniture Vietnam Co., Ltd.
- Eterno Co., Ltd.
- Gold Lion Furniture Shanghai Company
- HHC Changzhou Corp.
- Man Wah Furniture Manufacturing (Huizhou) Co., Ltd.
- Motomotion Vietnam Limited Company
- Restoration Hardware, Inc.
- Timberland Co., Ltd.
The CBSA will be reviewing the exporters listed above, as well as their related companies and any unrelated producers or trading companies that are involved in the production and sale of subject UDS to Canada through one of the above exporters. This group of exporters will collectively be referred to as the selected exporters. The selected exporters will be instructed to forward a dumping request for information (RFI) to any relevant parties.
The administrative review is part of the CBSA’s enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s (CITT) finding issued on September 2, 2021.
The product definition and the applicable tariff classification numbers of the goods subject to the CITT’s finding can be found on the CBSA’s Measures in Force.
Normal values established during this administrative review will be effective for the subject goods released from the CBSA on or after the date of the conclusion of the administrative review. Normal values currently in place will expire on that date. Normal values determined on the basis of the administrative review will be applied to any entries of subject goods under appeal that have yet to be re determined at the time of the conclusion of the review.
Exporters listed above that wish to participate in this administrative review are required to provide a complete and accurate response to the CBSA’s request for information (RFI) by January 2, 2025. An exporter will be considered co-operative if the requested information is submitted on time and the exporter permits verification of the data. A complete listing of dates of interest is available on the administrative review schedule.
Where an exporter of subject goods which has been asked to respond to an RFI does not provide sufficient information to determine specific normal values or does not permit verification of information submitted, anti-dumping duties will be assessed at a rate of 188.0% for subject good from China and 179.5% for subject goods from Vietnam, in accordance with a ministerial specification pursuant to section 29 of SIMA, expressed as a percentage of the export price of the subject goods imported into Canada.
Exporters that are not the manufacturer of the subject goods (e.g. trading companies, vendors, etc.) will receive normal values only to the extent that their suppliers/manufacturers provide sufficient information to permit the determination of normal values and export prices.
Responses to the Importer RFI are due by December 16, 2024. Importers are cautioned that new normal values, when issued, may be higher than those currently in effect and that this could result in additional assessments of anti-dumping duties. Importers are also cautioned that unless an exporter co-operates in the administrative review and receives specific normal values at their conclusion, subsequent imports of subject goods from that exporter will be assessed anti-dumping duties based on the ministerial specifications indicated above.
All parties are cautioned that where there are increases in domestic prices, and/or costs, the export price for sales to Canada should be increased accordingly to ensure that any sale made to Canada is not only above the normal value but at or above selling prices and full costs and profit of the goods in the exporter’s domestic market. If exporters did not adjust export prices accordingly, retroactive assessments of anti-dumping duty may be warranted.
