Published Date: 2/24/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that certain Chinese companies sold wood mouldings and millwork products in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from February 2023 to January 2024. Because of this, these companies will face antidumping duties starting February 24, 2026, which means they’ll have to pay extra fees to level the playing field for U.S. businesses. This decision affects importers, exporters, and buyers of these wood products.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Specific China Exporters Face Duties
Commerce found that certain Chinese exporters sold wood mouldings and millwork in the U.S. below normal value for the period February 1, 2023 through January 31, 2024. As of February 24, 2026, Commerce assigned weighted-average dumping margins of 31.18% to Yinfeng/Mangrove, 61.86% to Longquan Jiefeng/Senya Board, and 37.24% to non-selected companies that received a separate rate.
China-Wide Rate of 220.87% Applied
Commerce will apply a China-wide ad valorem rate of 220.87% to entries of subject merchandise exported by companies in the China-wide entity. Commerce will also apply the 220.87% rate to POR entries produced by mandatory respondents for which they did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States.
Cash Deposit Rules Effective on Publication
Upon publication (February 24, 2026), cash deposit requirements take effect for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date. For companies with a separate rate, the cash deposit rate equals the weighted-average dumping margin listed in the final results; for exporters without a separate rate, the cash deposit rate is the China-wide rate (220.87%); non-Chinese exporters without their own rate get the rate of the Chinese supplier.
Importer Certificate Required or Risk Double Duties
Importers must file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries for this period of review, as required by 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). Failure to file the certificate could lead Commerce to presume reimbursement occurred and to assess double antidumping duties.
No Duties When Assessment Is De Minimis (0.50%)
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties when an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is above de minimis (i.e., 0.50%). If an importer-specific ad valorem or per-unit assessment rate is zero or de minimis (0.50% or less), Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate the relevant entries without regard to antidumping duties.
