Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce is updating its decision on duties for wood mouldings and millwork products from China after a court ruling. This affects two companies, China Cornici and RaoPing HongRong, changing their duty review status and cash deposit rates starting October 3, 2026. If you’re involved with these companies or products, expect new rules and possible financial changes soon!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
No Retroactive Duty Assessment on Liquidated Entries
For entries produced or exported by China Cornici and RaoPing during June 12, 2020 through December 31, 2021 that have already been liquidated, Commerce lacks authority to reliquidate them. As a result, Commerce will not instruct CBP to assess countervailing duties on those already-liquidated entries even if the court decision is not appealed or is upheld.
8.89% Cash Deposit Assigned to Two Companies
If you import wood mouldings or millwork products from China Cornici Co., Ltd. or RaoPing HongRong Handicrafts Co., Ltd., Commerce assigned each company a cash deposit rate of 8.89 percent ad valorem. Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to require this cash deposit rate for those companies pending any appeals, effective October 3, 2026.
