Income From Continued Dumping And Subsidy Offset Act [Text Block]	9. Income from the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act In 2000, the United States Congress passed the Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act (CDSOA). The Act requires that revenues from antidumping and countervailing duties on designated imports be distributed, on an annual basis, to the domestic producers that were either petitioners or interested parties supporting the petition that resulted in duties being levied. The CDSOA originally targeted the steel industry and eventually spread to other industries, including the furniture industry, specifically targeting wooden bedroom furniture produced in China. We supported the petition on wooden bedroom furniture produced in China. We recognized $765, $488 and $1,627 of CDSOA income in fiscal 2011, 2010, and 2009, respectively. In 2006, legislation was enacted that ends CDSOA distributions for monies collected after September 30, 2007, although distributions of monies collected prior to that date have continued during 2009, 2010 and 2011. A final distribution of the CDSOA funds may be made in 2012, however it has not been determined what our share of that distribution will be, if any.
