The DOC will examine the operations of Huanghouse, Senyuan and First Wood for the period of June 24, 2004, through Dec. 31, 2005.

In addition to the certifying that they hadn't shipped wood bedroom furniture to the United States during the original investigation period, the companies also submitted documentation establishing the date on which they first shipped wood bedroom furniture for export to the U.S. market; the volume of their first shipment and the volume of subsequent shipments (if applicable); and the date of their first sale to an unaffiliated customer in the United States.

The department already is reviewing new shippers Kunyu, Dongguan Landmark Furniture, Meikangchi and Hui-Yang. A ruling is expected on those companies by June 26.
