Published Date: 6/15/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Chinese fiberglass door panel makers got unfair government help, so they’re adding extra taxes to these imports starting June 15, 2026. This affects companies importing these door panels from China, making them cost more and leveling the playing field for U.S. businesses. The decision covers the whole year of 2024 and aims to keep trade fair and square.
Analyzed Economic Effects
6 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Specific CVD Rates Assigned

CVD Order if ITC Finds Injury
Commerce will notify the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) of the final affirmative determination; the ITC will determine within 45 days whether U.S. industry is materially injured or threatened.

CBP Cash Deposits and Suspension Dates
Commerce instructed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to collect cash deposits and suspend liquidation for entries of subject merchandise entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after August 21, 2025 (date of the Preliminary Determination). Commerce instructed CBP to discontinue suspension for entries on or after December 19, 2025, but to continue suspension for entries on or before December 18, 2025.
Refunds if ITC Finds No Injury
If the ITC determines that material injury or threat of material injury does not exist, the proceeding will be terminated and all estimated duties deposited or securities posted as a result of the suspension of liquidation will be refunded or cancelled.
