The American Kitchen Cabinet Alliance has filed an anti-dumping petition against their competitors in China, claiming the Chinese government's \"manipulation and unfair trade practices\" have led to a more than 75 per cent rise in Chinese imports of kitchen and bath cabinetry since 2015, creating a threat to the $9.5 billion (SGD 12.9 billion) American industry. According to the petition, the industry claims that it is slowly being wiped out by competitor companies like Panda Kitchen and Golden Home.<\/em><\/p>\n

Papers were filed with the Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission by Wiley Rein LLP on behalf of the AKCA. The coalition, made up of more than 25 companies, says it is standing up for more than 250,000 American workers in the cabinetry industry impacted by the low-cost imports.<\/p>\n

\"China has manipulated global production and captured a large and growing portion of the market, manufacturing dumped and subsidised products, and has taken jobs away from hardworking Americans,\" said Tim Brightbill, chief counsel for the AKCA and partner at Wiley Rein. \"Today's filing at Commerce and the ITC demonstrates an important first step in stopping the surge of dumped and subsidized Chinese cabinet products coming into the United States.\"<\/p>\n

The petition alleges dumping margins of more than 200 per cent, with Brightbill estimating there are more than 35 government subsidy programmes in China that benefit the country's cabinet industry. Both face-frame and frameless cabinetry designed for permanent installation are included in the petition.<\/p>\n

\"Our cases aim to stand up to China's cheating and level the playing field for American workers and their families, as we fight to protect an iconic American industry,\" said Stephen Wellborn, director of Product and Research Development at Wellborn Cabinet Inc. \"Now is the time to stand up for American kitchen cabinet workers.\"<\/p>\n

Notice of the petition comes roughly two weeks after the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show, where a large number of Chinese-based manufacturers \u2014 as well as U.S. assemblers of Chinese branded cabinetry \u2014 exhibited their wares. Brightbill noted that Chinese cabinetry imports account for more than $2 billion (SGD 2.7 billion) of the U.S. market.<\/p>\n

The cabinet industry is not the only one impacted by Chinese imports. A number of anti-dumping claims related to the wood industry have been filed against China, including duties assessed on wooden bedroom furniture imports, in place since 2004, and more recently, Chinese imports of multi-layered wood flooring and decorative hardwood plywood; the latter two cases were also handled by the Wiley Rein firm.<\/p>\n

\"The United States has lost much of its furniture and textile industries, and China is now targeting American kitchen cabinets in the same way,\" said Mark Trexler, president and CEO of Master Woodcraft Cabinetry, and executive vice president and chief operations officer of AC Products (ACPI) Inc. \"China's illegal trade practices like dumping and subsidies are hurting American workers and consumers, and today's historic filing by the AKCA is the first step in standing up to China.\"<\/p>\n

Anti-dumping occurs when imported products are sold, i.e., \"dumped\" into the U.S. market at prices below cost. The duties are assessed by the Department of Commerce and collected by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security\u2019s Customs and Border Protection (CBP) in order to protect U.S. businesses and level the playing field for domestic products.<\/p>\n

The alliance must now await a preliminary determination by the DOC and ITA.<\/p>\n

Established in 2019, AKCA says it is \"standing up for American workers and supporting the actions of those who oppose China's cheating of America's kitchen cabinet industry. We are proud to support one of the largest trade cases in history filed against China at the Department of Commerce and the International Trade Commission (ITC).\"<\/p>\n
