Summary
The U.S. Court of Appeals decided that certain door thresholds from Worldwide Door Components and Columbia Aluminum are covered by the rules on aluminum extrusions from China. This means these products will face extra duties again, changing previous decisions that said otherwise. Importers and businesses should get ready for these changes, which could affect costs and timing starting now.

Door Thresholds Now Subject to Duties
On October 8, 2024, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed earlier court orders and Commerce amended its final scope rulings to find that certain door thresholds imported by Worldwide Door Components, Inc. and Columbia Aluminum Products, Inc. are covered by the antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on aluminum extrusions from the People’s Republic of China. That means those specific door thresholds will again be subject to AD and CVD duties, and importers and businesses handling these products should prepare for increased duties and related timing or cost changes.
