The United States International Trade Commission has announced the final phase of an investigation into whether imports of large top-mount combination refrigerator-freezers from Thailand are harming an industry in the U.S. This investigation follows a preliminary finding by the Department of Commerce that these products are being sold at less-than-fair value. The investigation, which was requested by Electrolux Consumer Products, will consider if the U.S. industry is materially injured or threatened by these imports. Public hearings and written submissions are being scheduled, with specific timelines and procedures outlined for participation.
Simple Explanation
The government is looking into whether certain kinds of refrigerators from Thailand are being sold unfairly cheap in the U.S., which might hurt businesses making similar fridges here. They plan to have meetings and let people share their opinions to help decide if these fridge imports are unfair.
