U.S. Department of Commerce Releases Preliminary Review Results for Wooden Cabinets From China

Estimated reading time: 4–10 minutes

Date: 2025-08-12

On August 12, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce published the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review of wooden cabinets and vanities from the People’s Republic of China. The review covers the period from April 1, 2023, through March 31, 2024.

Key Findings

The review found that two companies, The Ancientree Cabinet Co., Ltd. (Ancientree) and KM Cabinetry Co., Ltd. (KM), sold wooden cabinets and vanities in the United States at less than normal value during the review period.

  • KM Cabinetry Co., Ltd.: 112.23% dumping margin
  • The Ancientree Cabinet Co., Ltd.: 7.67% dumping margin

Fourteen other companies qualified for a separate rate. These companies were assigned a dumping margin of 14.48%.

Five companies were found to be part of the China-wide entity, which keeps its rate at 251.64%. No changes were made to the China-wide rate, as no requests were made to review the entity.

The review is being partially rescinded for 49 companies. This is because either the requests for review were withdrawn or there were no shipments of cabinets from these companies during the period.

Administrative Review Process

The antidumping duty order on wooden cabinets from China began on April 21, 2020. On April 1, 2024, the Commerce Department invited interested parties to request a review. The review began with 70 companies.

Some parties withdrew their requests to review certain companies. Eleven companies filed no-shipment certifications, and 18 filed for a separate rate. As a result, the review now covers 21 companies, including Ancientree and KM.

After tolling and postponing deadlines, the preliminary results were set for August 5, 2025.

Separate Rates and Review Results

All companies from China are presumed to be under government control unless they prove otherwise. Fourteen companies and the two main respondents did so and qualified for individual rates.

  • Oppein Home Group Inc.
  • Weihai Jarlin Cabinetry Manufacture Co., Ltd.
  • Xiamen Adler Cabinetry Co., Ltd.

Rescinded Companies

The review is being rescinded, in part, for 49 companies either because no requests for their review remain or there were no entries during the period. The full list is given in Appendix IV of the official notice.

Next Steps

Commerce will release final results within 120 days of these preliminary findings. Parties can submit comments and request hearings. Importers must ensure all paperwork is filed, or they may face extra duties.

Cash Deposit Instructions

When the final results are published, new cash deposit rates will apply:

  • Companies with a separate rate will receive their assigned margin.
  • Companies without a separate rate default to the China-wide rate (251.64%).
  • Companies not under review keep their previous rates.
