Event Review
On March 6, 2019, the American Kitchen Cabinet Alliance (AKCA) filed a complaint requesting that the federal Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) open a dual anti-investigation against the above-mentioned imports from China. It argued that manufacturers of Chinese products receive illegal government subsidies and are unfairly priced to constitute dumping in the U.S. market, causing between $2 billion and $4 billion in damages to similar manufacturing industries in the United States.
On March 27, 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced the initiation of an anti-dumping and countervailing investigation into Chinese imports of wood cabinets and bathroom cabinets to determine whether the aforementioned products were dumped into the U.S. market.
On August 6, 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce preliminarily determined and announced that countervailing duties were imposed on imports of $4.4 ارب (approximately RMB 31 ارب) worth of Chinese cabinets at a rate of up to 229.24%.

In early October 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced the preliminary findings of an anti-dumping investigation into cabinetry and bathroom cabinetry products from China.
The American Cabinet Alliance claims that from January 2016 to January 2018, U.S. imports of wooden cabinets and bathroom cabinets from China increased by 19.9 percent, with the amount of cabinet and bathroom cabinet products imported from China accounting for 50 percent of total imports. The low-cost sales of Chinese cabinets resulted in a loss of $116 million to the U.S. cabinet industry between 2016 اور 2018. This is one of the largest trade cases filed by the United States against China in history.
