New definition in effect July 7th
\nWASHINGTON \u00e2\u20ac\u201d The U.S. Department of Commerce has refined its description of jewelry armoires to clear up some confusion.<\/p>\n
In September 2004, the DOC agreed to remove jewelry armoires, cheval mirrors and unrelated wall mirrors from the list of products that would incur antidumping duties imposed on wood bedroom furniture from China.<\/p>\n
Still, importers were having \u00e2\u20ac\u0153a few hiccups\u00e2\u20ac\u009d with Customs agents who misinterpreted jewelry armoires as bedroom suite furniture, said Bill Benton, president of importer Powell Co. The DOC\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wording was \u00e2\u20ac\u0153just fuzzy enough that we were getting a few hassles,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d he said.
\nDOC said earlier this year it would change the wording. The new definition went into effect July 7. It continues to state that a jewelry armoire must not exceed 24 inches in width or 49 inches in height, but removes the requirement of felt or felt-like material on the inside of the door.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
