U.S. Anti-dumping Again--Where is China's Washing Machine Industry?

The United States International Trade Commission made the final ruling on the 30th, the United States will impose anti-dumping duties on large-scale washing machines imported from China.

The United States International Trade Commission ruled on that day that the large-scale washing machines imported from China caused substantial damage to the relevant US industries. As the U.S. Department of Commerce had previously concluded that there was a dumping action on China's export of the product to the United States, the International Trade Commission’s decision on that day meant that the U.S. Department of Commerce would formally require the customs to impose anti-dumping duties on such products.

According to the US Department of Commerce’s final decision in December last year, the United States will impose anti-dumping duties of 32.12% to 52.51% on Chinese manufacturers.

According to the US Department of Commerce, in 2015, the amount of such products imported from China by the United States was approximately US$1.1 billion.

Regarding trade frictions between China and the United States, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce has repeatedly stated that it hopes that the U.S. government will abide by its opposition to trade protectionism, jointly safeguard a free, open and fair international trade environment, and properly handle trade frictions in a more rational manner.
