Preliminary finding: harm to U.S. door-makers
On May 5, 2025, the U.S. International Trade Commission determined there is a reasonable indication that U.S. manufacturers are materially injured by imports of fiberglass door panels from China (HTS subheading 3925.20.00). The Commission instituted countervailing duty investigation No. 701-TA-758 and antidumping duty investigation No. 731-TA-1739 effective March 20, 2025, based on allegations that the imports are subsidized and sold at less than fair value.
