By Home Furnishings Business in Bedroom on January 2007 Effective today, the U.S. Department of Commerce has taken certain mirrored jewelry cabinets off the list of products subject to duties under an antidumping order against wood bedroom furniture made in China.

The subject merchandise is described as an “integrated piece consisting of a cheval mirror, i.e., a framed tiltable mirror with a height in excess of 50 inches, mounted on a floor-standing, hinged base, the cheval mirror serving as a door to a cabinet back that is integral to the structure of the mirror and which constitutes a jewelry cabinet lined with fabric, having necklace and bracelet hooks, mountings for rings and shelves, with or without a working lock and key to secure the contents of the jewelry cabinet back to the cheval mirror, and no drawers anywhere on the integrated piece. The fully assembled piece must be at least 50 inches in height, 14.5 inches in width, and 3 inches in depth.”

DOC will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refund any estimated antidumping duties collected to date for such cabinets.
