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.

Products that may be covered (examples)
  • 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
Products that may require separate review or may fall outside this order
  • ?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
Scope control: HTS codes are screening references only; Commerce's written scope language controls whether a product is covered, and parts, unfinished, or unassembled ironing tables may still be covered depending on that scope.

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
The same type of product may be subject to trade-remedy orders from more than one country, so importers should review the AD/CVD status of each origin they source from without engaging in any duty-evasion conduct.

FAQ

Is there antidumping duty on ironing tables from China?
There is an antidumping (AD) duty order on floor-standing, metal-top ironing tables and parts thereof from China under case A-570-888. Whether your specific goods fall within it depends on Commerce's written scope, so verification is recommended.
Does a 0% deposit rate mean no duty?
No. A 0% cash-deposit rate is not an exemption. The order still applies, entries must be declared as subject merchandise, and rates can change through administrative reviews.
Are parts or unassembled ironing tables covered?
Certain parts and unassembled or partially assembled ironing tables may still be covered depending on Commerce's written scope language; importers should verify with a licensed broker before filing.
Possible risk
Risk signal: Higher concern if the goods are floor-standing, metal-top ironing tables or their parts of Chinese origin; a separate review is needed for tabletop boards, non-metal tops, parts, and any third-country processing.
Bottom line: Floor-standing, metal-top ironing tables and parts from China may be covered by AD case A-570-888; confirm scope, origin, exporter/producer identity, and current cash-deposit rates before entry.
Not a scope determination or filing advice — confirm coverage and current deposit rates with a licensed customs broker and the latest Commerce/CBP instructions before entry.
