The US Department of Commerce (DoC) has commenced an anti-dumping investigation into boltless steel shelving units from Vietnam, the Trade Remedies Authority of Vietnam says.
It recommended enterprises producing and exporting related products keep a close watch on the developments of the case.
On April 25, 2023, Edsal Manufacturing Co Inc, the largest producer of boltless steel shelving in the United States, filed a petition to the DoC and the US International Trade Commission (USITC) to initiate an anti-dumping duties investigation into certain boltless steel shelving allegedly dumped from Malaysia, India, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.
The product under investigation is a packed boltless steel shelf. The petitioner has alleged that boltless steel shelving imported from Malaysia, India, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam are being, or are likely to be, sold at less than fair value in the United States.
The petitioner further alleged that these imports, which have cumulatively surged by 68.5% from 2020 to 2022, are causing, or threatening to cause, material injury to the US boltless steel shelving industry.
