WASHINGTON, Feb. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Corporate Whistleblower Center is urging employees or insiders with specific knowledge about a company that is importing any type of product from China that is subject to US Anti-Dumping laws or regulations to call them anytime at 866-714-6466 for a conversation about what could be significant whistleblower rewards. As they would like to explain, the reward potential for this specific type of information can be significant. Recently a whistleblower with this exact type of information received $1.9-million-dollar reward for exposing a company involved in a tariff-customs duties avoidance scheme with bedroom furniture made in China. http://CorporateWhistleblower.Com

In January 2018 the Department of Justice announced an East Coast based home furnishings company agreed to pay the United States $10.5 million to resolve allegations that it violated the False Claims Act by knowingly making false statements on customs declarations to avoid paying anti-dumping duties on furniture imported from the People's Republic of China (PRC). The United States alleged that between January 2009 and February 2014, the bedroom furniture company evaded antidumping duties owed on wooden bedroom furniture that the company imported from the PRC by knowingly misclassifying the furniture as non-bedroom furniture on its official import documents.

Products that could be subject to US Anti-Dumping laws or regulations could include:

Furniture
Steel
Plumbing parts
Building material
Auto parts
Pipe

According to the Corporate Whistleblower Center, "The federal government has not yet managed to create an easy to understand website that lists all products that are subject to US Anti-Dumping laws or regulations. We need company employees or insiders to blow the whistle. The company will typically know what they are doing. Anti-Dumping laws were created so a country like China could not dump less expensive products on the USA, because these types of antics cost US manufacturing employees their jobs.

If your employer or a company that you have information about is knowingly dumping their products into the USA in violation of Anti-Dumping Laws, please call us at 866-714-6466. There is no way Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or any federal agency can stop this huge problem without help. In many instances the rewards for this type of information can be very significant as we would like to discuss. Why sit on a potentially winning lotto ticket without ever knowing what it might have been worth?" http://CorporateWhistleblower.Com

Simple rules for a whistleblower from the Corporate Whistleblower Center: Do not go to the government first if you are a major whistleblower. The Corporate Whistleblower Center says, "Major whistleblowers frequently go to the government thinking they will help. It's a huge mistake. Do not go to the news media with your whistleblower information. Public revelation of a whistleblower's information could destroy any prospect for a reward. Do not try to force a company or individual to come to come clean about their involvement in a scheme to avoid hefty tariffs on products that are subject to US Anti-Dumping Laws or Regulations. Come to us first, tell us what type of information you have, and if we think it's sufficient, we will help find the right law firms to assist in advancing your information. There is so much money in exposing companies ripping off the US government the enterprise could be a Fortune 500 Company."

The Corporate Whistleblower Center wants to emphasize there are high quality whistleblowers in every state, including California, New York, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, Washington, or Alaska. http://CorporateWhistleblower.Com
