Dumping continues but agency says no injury

The US Department of Commerce (DoC) has revoked an anti-dumping (AD) order against Japanese forklifts first implemented more than 15 years ago.

In a US Federal Register notice, the International Trade Commission (ITC) determined in a sunset review that revocation of the AD order would not lead to injury to the US industry within a reasonably foreseeable time.

On June 7, 1988, the DoC first published its AD order and found dumping margins ranging from 13.65 per cent to 56.81 per cent for “selected respondents” and a margin of 39.45 per cent for “all other” Japanese forklift manufacturers, producers, and exporters.

The margins were calculated based on price differences of forklifts sold in “own markets” compared to those sold in the USA.

The Japanese forklifts covered by the order were IC industrial forklifts with load capacities ranging from 2,000lbs (907kg) to 15,000lbs (6803kg).

They were described as “assembled, not assembled, and less than complete, finished, and not finished, operator-riding forklifts powered by gasoline, propane or diesel fuel IC engines of off-the-highway types used in factories, warehouses, or transportation terminals for short-distance transport, towing, or handling of articles”.

Forklifts manufactured three years before entering the USA were termed “genuinely used forklifts”, and not covered by the AD order.

On June 2, 2000, the DoC published a continuation of the order. On March 1, 2005, the DoC initiated a sunset review of the order and found its revocation would lead to continued and recurred dumping.

The ITC was notified that revocation of the AD order would result in continued dumping by the following forklift manufacturers and exporters at weighted-average percentage margins of:

Toyota Motor Corp (47.79), Nissan Motor Co Ltd (51.33), Komatsu Forklift Co Ltd (47.50), Sumitomo-Yale Co Ltd (51.33), Toyo Umpanki Co Ltd (51.33), Sanki Industrial Co Ltd (13.65), Kasagi Forklift Inc (56.81) and all others (39.45).

However, on January 26, 2006, the ITC determined, under section 752 of the Tariff Act (1930), that revocation was not likely to cause material injury to the US industry.

A DoC staff member said the revocation was an affirmative finding of the DoC and the ITC.

“According to US law, a sunset review is conducted every five years to see if the order is renewed. The International Trade Administration of the DoC will investigate if there is evidence of dumping and the likelihood of future dumping while the ITC will determine if there is injury to a US industry,” he said.

The DoC says the effective date of revocation of the AD order is June 2, 2005.

Out there, a lot of forklift companies exist. Most of us don't give them a second thought. However, the NACCO company owns a good deal of the world's leading forklift manufacturers. Along with Hyster, they own the Yale forklift company. Yale has been around since 1844 when Linus Yale invented the modern pin-tumbler lock mechanism. The chain hoist came in around 1875 and then in 1923, the first forklift was invented.

Yale forklifts are manufactured in nine different countries, including Japan, Brazil and the Netherlands. When you buy a Yale forklift, you are buying a product that comes with service technicians dispatched from their local dealers and the ability to finance and deliver your new forklift. Because Yale is so large, when you purchase through them, you are getting quality and service in one package.

One feature that Yale forklifts offers is their Fleet Management. This is a package plan type system that Yale offers to buyers of their products and people who already own equipment but could use servicing or parts. Yale will even help organize the type of information one would need to keep track of in their forklift fleet. Yale forklifts will put together a fleet management plan that is right for your business's productivity so that you can be as efficient as possible.

Yale forklifts offers the many designs of forklifts including electric riders with cushion tires and narrow aisle and motorized hand carts. Their website proves that they have many more different types of forklifts than other leading companies. Their website also provides over 750,000 different replacement parts for all your forklift needs. Like their fleet management plan, they provide programs that help get you the parts you need at the right price.

If all that Yale forklifts provided is still not enough, they also sell an interactive CD that trains users on forklifts and their safety. This is another great item for businesses because it is an easy way to inform your employees. Yale forklifts offers so many impressive ways to use and depend on their company. They even offer financing on their forklifts to allow for ease of acquisition. Yale forklifts is a very professional company.
