The U.S. Department of Commerce has initiated an administrative review of wooden bedroom furniture shipments from China in 2010.

The process is part of a 2005 antidumping order that imposed duties on Chinese-made bedroom furniture. The original order dictated annual reviews for five years. In December, the International Trade Commission ruled that duties should remain in place on subject merchandise after a "sunset review" of the antidumping order, clearing the way for DOC to initiate another review this year shipments during 2010.

The 2010 review will examine 180-plus Chinese manufacturers of wood bedroom furniture.
