China Wood Imports Stay Dumped: U.S. Millwork Shields Up
Published Date: 5/5/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep the antidumping duties on wood mouldings and millwork products from China because removing them could lead to unfair low prices again. This means U.S. producers, like the Coalition of American Millwork Producers, stay protected from cheap imports. These duties stay in effect starting May 5, 2026, helping American businesses compete fairly.

U.S. Millwork Producers Kept Protected
The Department of Commerce decided to keep the antidumping duty order on wood mouldings and millwork products from China, so U.S. producers remain protected from low‑priced imports. This protection is effective May 5, 2026, and explicitly preserves the competitive position of groups like the Coalition of American Millwork Producers.
Importers Face Large Continued Duties
Importers of wood mouldings and millwork products from China will continue to face antidumping duties, with Commerce finding likely weighted‑average dumping margins up to 231.60 percent. The order remains in effect starting May 5, 2026, which means import costs and potential duties for affected shipments can remain very large.
