The U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) have decided to continue their measures against some wood products from China.

These products include wood mouldings and millwork products. The decision affects antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders. Without these measures, there could be more unfair trading. The U.S. industry could be at risk of material injury.

The decision was officially published on June 30, 2026. But the actual move to continue these orders started on June 24, 2026.

The Background

The AD and CVD orders were first applied in February 2021. These orders aim to prevent dumping and unfair subsidies that could harm U.S. industries. On January 2, 2026, Commerce and the ITC began reviewing these orders.

After the review, they found that removing the orders would likely lead to the return of unfair trading. As a result, the ITC announced its decision on June 24, 2026. The orders will continue to protect U.S. companies from the adverse impact of unfair competition.

The Products Covered

The orders cover wood mouldings and millwork products. These are made from wood, bamboo, and other materials. They are shaped and detailed into different profiles, like door frames and paneling.

Some products are not covered by these orders. Excluded products are countertops, fencing, decking, siding, and certain types of doors and flooring. Additional products from specific antidumping orders, such as those regarding hardwood plywood, are also excluded.

What This Means

The continuation of these orders allows for more checks at U.S. borders. Customs will keep collecting duties on imports of these products at rates set when they enter the U.S.

The Department of Commerce will start the next review of these measures before their fifth anniversary. This ensures that trading stays fair in the future as well.

Notification

Businesses involved must handle any confidential information carefully. They need to follow regulations for its return or destruction.

This decision by the U.S. protects local industries from possible threats caused by unfair import practices. It also keeps the playing field level for U.S. businesses.
