The U.S. has concluded its investigation into anti-dumping and anti-circumvention measures on Vietnamese wooden cabinets, confirming that some with Chinese components are subject to existing duties. The broader investigation was canceled, allowing Vietnamese exporters to use a self-certification mechanism to avoid these duties.
The Trade Remedies Authority (Ministry of Industry and Trade) of Vietnam announced that the U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) has finalized its investigation into anti-dumping and anti-circumvention measures on wooden cabinets imported from Vietnam.
The DOC upheld its preliminary findings from September 2023, determining that three types of Vietnamese cabinets with components made in China are subject to existing duties on Chinese products.
However, the broader investigation into anti-circumvention duties was canceled.
Vietnamese exporters must use a self-certification mechanism, providing necessary documentation to avoid anti-dumping and countervailing duties.
This documentation must be maintained for five years for potential verification by U.S. authorities.
The DOC will notify U.S. Customs and Border Protection to implement this self-certification regime, which excludes Vietnamese products not falling under the specified categories from duties.
The Trade Remedies Authority advises Vietnamese exporters to thoroughly understand and comply with these regulations, monitor early warning information, and report any issues for timely support.
The investigations were initiated by the DOC in May and June 2022, with existing anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Chinese cabinets ranging from 4.37% to 262.18% and 13.33% to 293.45%, respectively.
