Meiyu's anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations on China's bathroom cabinets Expert Weapon: Establishing a bathroom cabinet alliance

The bathroom cabinet industry is on a 'big event'! On March 12, according to the China Trade Remedy Information Network, on March 6, 2019, the American Kitchen Cabinet Alliance (American Kitchen Cabinet Alliance) submitted to the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) a report on wooden cabinets and bathrooms in China. Application for filing an anti-dumping and countervailing investigation against Wooden Cabinets and Vanities (Wooden Cabinets and Vanities). Currently, the U.S. International Trade Commission’s industrial damage investigation procedures have been launched, and the U.S. Department of Commerce will decide whether to file a case within 20 days. When the Sino-US economic and trade team was negotiating, the United States initiated anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation applications against Chinese wooden cabinets and bathroom cabinets. What are the impacts on relevant domestic foreign trade companies? If the case is filed, how can we fight back effectively? In this regard, Wu Huiyuan, general manager of Corsa Sanitary Ware, believes that once the case is filed, many wooden cabinet and bathroom cabinet companies will go bankrupt and go bankrupt. It is understood that the reason why the U.S. Kitchen Cabinet Alliance submitted an application for anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations against Chinese wooden cabinets and bathroom cabinets is mainly because of fear of the strong competitive advantage of China's bathroom cabinets. Wu Huiyuan also told reporters that compared with the bathroom cabinets produced in the United States, the bathroom cabinets produced in China are of higher quality and lower price, and are very popular with American consumers, agents and distributors. This is from the export of Chinese bathroom cabinets to the United States. The amount can be seen. Therefore, once the US Department of Commerce decides to open a case, the blow to some Chinese bathroom cabinet foreign trade companies can be said to be devastating, and may even face the risk of bankruptcy and bankruptcy. But we are not without the strength to fight back. Wu Huiyuan suggested that the bathroom cabinet industry can set up a bathroom cabinet alliance, and the alliance will come forward to speak on behalf of the company. After all, it takes too much time and money for a single company to fight a lawsuit across the border, and it is difficult for a single company to fight each other. After twisting into a rope, let the alliance fight against the alliance, so that the chance of winning is even greater. 'In addition, we can also find the way from the product to make products with Chinese characteristics. We can no longer follow the trend to make American bathroom cabinets, such as Chinese style and Shanghai style. Then we can add some functions, and I believe it will also be able to break through the American kitchen. Encirclement of the cabinet alliance.' Wu Huiyuan said. As for whether the case can be filed, Wu Huiyuan believes that this mainly depends on the outcome of the Sino-US trade war negotiations. Wooden cabinets and bathroom cabinets only accounted for a small part of the Sino-US trade war negotiations. The US's anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations were just a mere announcement. 'If China regresses and satisfies the requirements of the U.S., then the case cannot be filed; if the Chinese side is tough, then the case will definitely be filed.'
