| **Why You Are    | The United States International Trade Commission, |
| Being Asked to   | an independent, quasi-judicial federal agency,    |
| Complete This    | has been requested by petitioning U.S. firms to   |
| Questionnaire**  | determine whether an industry in the United       |
|                  | States is being materially injured or threatened  |
|                  | with material injury by reason of unfair imports  |
|                  | from China of wooden bedroom furniture. In order  |
|                  | for the Commission to make its determinations, it |
|                  | is collecting certain production, capacity,       |
|                  | shipment, inventory, financial, market, pricing,  |
|                  | and other data from U.S. producers, importers,    |
|                  | and purchasers.                                   |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| **Why Your**     | Your completed questionnaire response is          |
|                  | *extremely* important because it is the           |
| *                | foundation on which the Commission will base its  |
| *Questionnaire** | determinations. These industry questionnaires are |
|                  | the single best sources of comprehensive and      |
| **Response Is**  | current industry data. Your response will be      |
|                  | treated as confidential business proprietary      |
| **Important**    | information. As such, it will not be disclosed to |
|                  | any competitors or other market participants.     |
|                  | *There are strict legal safeguards in place to    |
|                  | protect and prevent the potential misuse of any   |
|                  | confidential information you may submit.*         |

| **Who Initiates  | Petitions are filed with the Commission and the   |
| Antidumping      | United States Department of Commerce by U.S.      |
| Investigations** | companies on behalf of a particular industry. The |
|                  | purpose of a petition is to request that the      |
|                  | federal government initiate an investigation into |
|                  | whether antidumping duties should be imposed on   |
|                  | unfairly traded imports.                          |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| **The Role of    | As mentioned, antidumping investigations involve  |
| the Commission   | two separate federal agencies\--the Commission    |
| in Antidumping   | and Commerce. Both agencies make separate,        |
| Investigations** | distinct, and independent determinations.         |
|                  | Commerce is responsible for examining whether the |
|                  | identified imports are being sold in the United   |
|                  | States at less than fair value. The Commission is |
|                  | *not* involved in this aspect of an               |
|                  | investigation, but is responsible for examining   |
|                  | whether a U.S. industry producing products like   |
|                  | such imports is materially injured or threatened  |
|                  | with material injury by reason of the unfairly    |
|                  | traded imports. *Affirmative determinations must  |
|                  | be made by both agencies in order for antidumping |
|                  | duties to be imposed.*                            |
+------------------+---------------------------------------------------+
| **The Time Frame | The next key decision date in this investigation  |
| in Which         | is the Department of Commerce's final             |
