Background Information:
The antidumping duty order was first issued by the Department of Commerce (Commerce) on August 6, 2004. Since then, the order has undergone three five-year reviews, resulting in the continuation of the duty. The fourth review now aims to determine the potential impact on the domestic industry if the order is revoked.
Key Definitions:

- “Domestic Industry” includes US producers of ironing tables.
- “Importer” is any entity importing the ironing tables from China into the US.
Participation and Information Submission:
Organizations interested in participating must file an entry of appearance with the Commission. The deadline to become a party to the proceeding is within 21 days of the notice’s publication. Participants may include producers, consumers, trade associations, and more.
Confidential Business Information:
The Commission will allow limited disclosure of business proprietary information (BPI) under an administrative protective order (APO). Interested parties must submit an application within 21 days to access this information.
Inability to Provide Information:
If a party cannot provide the requested information, they must notify the Commission with a full explanation and suggest alternative forms to provide equivalent data.
Impact of Revocation:
Interested parties are encouraged to discuss potential effects on the domestic industry if the antidumping duty order is revoked. Factors to consider include the likely volume of imports, price impacts, and industry implications.
Additional Information Required:
Respondents must include information such as the name and address of their firm, the firm’s role as an interested party, and the firm’s willingness to participate. They should provide data on production, capacity, and sales, among other details, for the year 2025.
Final Steps:
The USITC will evaluate all submissions and determine whether to carry out a full or expedited review. The results will help decide the future of the antidumping duty order on ironing tables from China.
The proceedings will be conducted under the authority of Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930, ensuring all regulatory requirements are met.
