$15 Million Settlement reached to resolve False Claims Act Allegations against Z Gallerie LLC

Settlement Amount:

$15,000,000

A settlement has been reached to resolve False Claims Act allegations against Z Gallerie LLC.

The whistleblowers' share of the settlement will be $2.4 million.

According to Department of Justice, Z Gallerie LLC allegedly evaded antidumping duties on wooden bedroom furniture imported from the People’s Republic of China from 2007 to 2014, by misclassifying, or conspiring with others to misclassify, the imported furniture as pieces intended for non-bedroom use on documents presented to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

An example, Z Gallerie allegedly sold certain Bassett Mirror Company products, including a six-drawer dresser and three-drawer chest, as part of a bedroom collection; however, these goods were misidentified on CBP documents, using descriptions such as “grand chests” and “hall chests,” in order to avoid paying antidumping duties on wooden bedroom furniture.

These allegations were brought forward by whistleblower Kelly Wells, an e-commerce retailer of furniture.
