The U.S. Department of Commerce maintains an antidumping (AD) duty order, case number A-570-888, on floor-standing, metal-top ironing tables and parts thereof from China. This is an AD order only; no countervailing (CVD) case is listed here. Importers of these goods should carefully review whether their products may be covered.
Scope — simplified screening examples, not full legal scope
The official written scope controls. The examples below are screening references only.
- •May include floor-standing ironing tables with a metal (perforated or expanded metal, sheet metal, or wire mesh) top
- •May include ironing tables with height-adjustable or fixed legs designed to stand on the floor
- •May include ironing tables imported assembled, unassembled, or partially assembled
- •May include certain identifiable parts of such ironing tables (for example, tops, legs, or leg assemblies) depending on scope
- •May include metal-top ironing tables imported with or without a pad or cover
- •May include ironing tables regardless of whether an iron rest or electrical features are attached
- ?Tabletop or countertop ironing boards that do not stand on the floor may commonly be outside this order
- ?Ironing boards or tables with tops made of materials other than metal (subject to the written scope) may be outside
- ?Fully upholstered or non-ironing folding tables may be outside
- ?Household laundry appliances such as steamers or garment presses may be outside
- ?Generic folding utility tables not designed for ironing may be outside
Who it affects
This typically matters for importers, distributors, and retailers bringing in floor-standing metal-top ironing tables or their component parts manufactured in or exported from China.
What the duty means
AD duties are collected as a cash deposit at the time of entry; rates vary by exporter/producer and administrative review and can be high. A 0% cash-deposit rate is NOT an exemption — the order still applies and entries must be declared. No CVD order is listed here, so only AD deposits would apply under this case.
Importer checklist — how to assess your risk
- ☐Gather the commercial invoice with a detailed product description
- ☐Collect product photos and spec sheets showing the top material and floor-standing design
- ☐Document the material composition of the top and frame (metal type, mesh, etc.)
- ☐Confirm the intended use and whether the item stands on the floor versus a tabletop
- ☐Assemble country-of-origin supporting documentation
- ☐Identify the manufacturer and exporter names and confirm the exact producer/exporter combination
- ☐Determine the likely HTS classification for screening purposes
- ☐Consult a licensed customs broker or trade counsel to confirm scope before entry
- ☐Verify the applicable rate against current Commerce results and CBP AD/CVD messages, and do not rely only on supplier statements
Risks to watch
- ⚠Circumvention or transshipment findings if goods are routed through third countries to disguise Chinese origin
- ⚠Scope inquiries where Commerce clarifies whether a specific product or part is covered
- ⚠Applying the wrong exporter/producer combination and thus an incorrect cash-deposit rate
- ⚠Misdeclaration penalties and retroactive duty liability for entries declared incorrectly
