Commerce Slaps Duties on Cheap Chinese Cabinets and Vanities
Published Date: 4/23/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that two Chinese companies, Ancientree and KM Cabinetry, sold wooden cabinets and vanities at unfairly low prices from April 2023 to March 2024. This means they’ll face extra duties to level the playing field for U.S. businesses. These changes take effect April 23, 2026, and could impact import costs and prices.
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 5 costs, 1 mixed.
Antidumping Duties: KM and Ancientree Rates
Commerce found that KM Cabinetry has a dumping margin of 43.92 percent and The Ancientree Cabinet Co., Ltd. has a dumping margin of 7.67 percent for sales from April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024. These final results, effective April 23, 2026, mean CBP will assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries tied to those margins.
Cash Deposit and Rate Rules for Imports
For shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date, cash deposit rules apply: (1) companies subject to this review pay the rates from these final results; (2) previously reviewed exporters with separate rates keep their most recently published rate; (3) Chinese exporters without a separate rate will face the China-wide rate of 251.64 percent; and (4) non-Chinese exporters without their own rate will get the rate of the Chinese exporter that supplied them.
Liquidation at China-Wide Rate for Unknown-U.S.-Destined Shipments
For entries produced by Ancientree or KM during the period that those exporters did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide rate of 251.64 percent if there is no rate for the intermediate company in the transaction.
Separate-Rate Non-Examined Companies Assigned 10.02%
Commerce assigned an estimated weighted-average dumping margin of 10.02 percent to non-selected separate-rate respondents for this review, based on the weighted average of Ancientree and KM's rates. That 10.02 percent rate will be used for liquidation/assessment for those non-examined separate-rate companies listed in the review.
Importer Certification Requirement and Penalties
Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries for the period under review. If importers fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and could assess double antidumping duties and/or increase antidumping duties by the amount of countervailing duties.
Review Rescinded for Fujian Leifeng
Commerce rescinded the administrative review for Fujian Leifeng because it had no reviewable suspended entries during the period April 1, 2023 through March 31, 2024. Any suspended entries that entered under Fujian Leifeng's case number will be liquidated at the rate as entered.
