The U.S. Department of Commerce has ruled that the lifting of duties on wood bedroom furniture from China would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping in the U.S. market.

The ruling constitutes the final results of an "expedited" five-year sunset review of the antidumping order on subject merchandise from Chinese manufacturers.

In entry in Wednesday's Federal Register(http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/2010-8565.htm), DOC indicated the "dumping margins likely to prevail if the order were revoked" on product from around 125 individual factories and the country as a whole:
* Dongguan Lung Dong, 2.32 percent.
* Rui Feng, 7.87 percent.
* Markor, 0.83 percent.
* Shing Mark, 4.96 percent.
* Starcorp, 15.78 percent.
* Some 120 companies, 7.24 percent.
* People Republic of China-wide rate, 198.08 percent.

After initiating the proceeding Dec. 1, DOC conducted an expedited, or 120-day, review of the antidumping order due to domestic parties' notification of intent to participate, and "lack of response from respondent interested parties."
