US : Anti-dumping and Countervailing Actions against Multilayered Wood Flooring from the Mainland of China: Institution of Investigations and Scheduling of Preliminary Phase Investigations

The US International Trade Commission (ITC) announced in the Federal Register (FR) notice of 27 October 2010 the institution of investigations and commencement of preliminary phase anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations to determine whether there was a reasonable indication that an industry in the US was materially injured or threatened with material injury, or the establishment of an industry in the US was materially retarded, by reason of imports of multilayered wood flooring from the Mainland of China that were alleged to be sold in the US at less than fair value and subsidised by the Government of the People's Republic of China. A copy of the FR notice is available at: http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/pdf/2010-27173.pdf.

  1. Interested parties wishing to participate in the investigations should file an entry of appearance with ITC not later than seven days after publication of the FR notice.

Besides, ITC has scheduled a conference in connection with the investigations on 12 November 2010 in which parties wishing to participate should contact ITC not later than 9 November 2010 to arrange for their appearance.
