(On December 28, 2004, the International Trade Commission (ITC) published in the Federal Register its final affirmative AD injury determination for wooden bedroom furniture from China. The next step is for the ITA to issue an AD duty order and amended final determination for subject merchandise, and instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to only allow AD cash deposits.)
