The U.S. Commerce Department on June 28 set final anti-dumping duties worth $55.92 million on imports of woven electric blankets from China.

Chinese producers and exporters may receive an anti-dumping duty rate of 77.75 percent to 174.85 percent.

The Commerce Department will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect cash deposits or bonds on imports of certain wire decking from China-based manufacturers on the final anti-dumping duty rates.

The products covered by this investigation are finished, semi-finished and unassembled woven electric blankets, including woven electric blankets commonly referred to as "throws," of all sizes and fabric types. They include artificial fiber, natural fiber or a blend of both.

The U.S. International Trade Commission is scheduled to issue its final injury determination on or before August 9, 2010. If it concludes that imports of woven electric blankets from China materially injure or threaten the domestic industry, the Commerce Department will issue an anti-dumping duty order.
