Chinese-made steel shelving units face duties in the United States after the Department of Commerce found on Monday the shelves are produced using unfair government subsidies.
In a preliminary decision, Commerce set anti-subsidy duties of up to 55.75 percent on imports of pre-packaged, boltless shelving, used in homes and businesses.
The petition was lodged by Chicago-based Edsal Manufacturing Co, which also complained that the products were being sold below fair value. A final decision is due on the subsidies by June 8.
