China's Wood Subsidies Taxed: Fair Play for American Millwork
Published Date: 5/5/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep extra taxes (called countervailing duties) on wood mouldings and millwork products from China because removing them could let unfair government subsidies sneak back in. This affects Chinese exporters and U.S. producers who want a level playing field. These duties stay in place starting May 5, 2026, helping protect American businesses from unfair competition.
