The U.S. Department of Commerce has found that producers of multilayered wood flooring in China are receiving subsidies, which are covered by a countervailing duty order first issued in 2011. This review primarily covers the year 2022. Some companies are being partially rescinded from this review due to lack of entries, while others are facing different countervailing duty rates, especially those that did not respond to the Department's requests for information. Interested parties are invited to provide comments and the final results are expected to be announced within 120 days of this preliminary announcement.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. government checked Chinese companies that make shiny wooden floors and found some are getting extra help (subsidies) that they're not supposed to. They're working out who should pay extra fees and asking people for their thoughts on these first findings.
