USITC Decides to Continue Duties on Vertical Metal File Cabinets from China
Estimated reading time: 1–7 minutes
On May 23, 2025, the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) made a decision about vertical metal file cabinets from China. The Commission reviewed the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on these cabinets.
The review is part of Investigation Nos. 701-TA-623 and 731-TA-1449. The USITC checks every five years to see if removing the duties would harm American industries.
The Commission found that if the orders were removed, American companies that make vertical metal file cabinets would likely be hurt again. The USITC looked at all the facts and made this decision under section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930.
These reviews began on November 1, 2025. The Commission decided on February 4, 2025, to do expedited reviews. They finished and filed their final decision on May 23, 2025.
The results and the Commission’s full opinions are in USITC Publication 5629, titled “Vertical Metal File Cabinets from China: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-623 and 731-TA-1449 (Review).”
Lisa Barton, Secretary to the Commission, issued the order.
