Commerce Department Will Soon Issue Antidumping Duty Orders on Color Televisions From China
As a result of the U.S. International Trade Commission's final affirmative injury determination on May 14, 2004, the U.S. Department of Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order on imports of certain color television receivers (CTVs) from the People's Republic of China on May 21, 2004.
The antidumping duty order will impose antidumping duties ranging from 5.22% to 78.45%
on CTVs imported from China. Two of China's largest and most well-known manufacturers and exporters of CTVs, Haier Electric Appliances International Co. and Konka Group Company, Ltd., will be subject to antidumping duties in the amount of 22.94% and 9.69%, respectively.
This antidumping investigation was commenced in May 2003 after an antidumping petition was filed by Five Rivers Electronic Innovations, LLC and two labor unions.
The value of U.S. imports of CTVs from China increased from $23,907,845 in 2001 to $276,432,525 in 2003.
