Commerce Reviews Subsidies on Chinese Wood Mouldings and Millwork
Published Date: 11/12/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that Chinese companies making wood mouldings and millwork products got unfair government help during 2024. Because of this, extra duties will apply starting November 12, 2026, affecting importers and sellers of these products. This means prices might change, and businesses should get ready for the new rules.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
Very large duties on three Chinese exporters
If you import wood mouldings and millwork products from Nanping Huatai Wood and Bamboo Co., Fujian Yinfeng Imp & Exp Trading Co., or Fujian Hongjia Craft Products Co., Commerce set a countervailing duty assessment rate of 147.88% ad valorem for the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will assess duties at that 147.88% rate on appropriate entries for those companies.
Timing: duties effective, cash deposits and assessment rules
The final results are applicable November 12, 2026. Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess countervailing duties and to collect cash deposits of estimated duties on shipments entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption on or after the date of publication of the final results. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication; if a timely summons is filed, CBP will be directed not to liquidate relevant entries until the time to file for a statutory injunction has expired (within 90 days of publication). The cash deposit requirements will remain in effect until further notice.
21.39% rate for non-selected Chinese suppliers
If you import millwork products from non-selected Chinese companies under this review, Commerce set an all-others/non-selected rate of 21.39% ad valorem for the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024. Appendix II of the notice lists the non-selected companies to which this rate applies for this review.
