Article Abstract:
U.S. demands for Chinese imported furniture has slowed down to 8 percent in 2003 as compared to 14 percent in 2002, due to uncertainty of imposing huge anti-dumping tariffs by the U.S., wood shortages and sluggish retail conditions in the market. Many importers are of the view that flow of products would not be arrested in spite of tariff imposition.
