USITC Starts Five-Year Review of Wood Mouldings and Millwork Products from China

Estimated reading time: 5–7 minutes

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) has started a five-year review. This review is for wood mouldings and millwork products that come from China. The review started on January 2, 2026.

The USITC will check if ending certain trade orders will hurt companies in the United States. These orders are called countervailing and antidumping duty orders. They were first put in place on February 16, 2021.

The review looks at whether removing these orders would cause damage to U.S. businesses making similar products. The review covers both injury that could stay the same and injury that could happen again.

The USITC has rules for how it does these reviews. The rules can be found in 19 CFR part 201 and part 207. The commission will decide if the review needs to be full or can be done quickly.

Key Definitions in the Review:
  • “Subject Merchandise” is the kind of wood products covered by these reviews.
  • The “Subject Country” is China.
  • The “Domestic Like Product” means the same kind of product made in the U.S.
  • The “Domestic Industry” includes U.S. companies that make these products.
  • The “Order Date” is February 16, 2021.
  • An “Importer” is someone who brings the subject goods to the U.S.
How to Participate:

People or companies wanting to take part must file an “entry of appearance.” This must be done within 21 days from when the notice was published.

Former USITC employees can participate in this review, even if they worked on the earlier, related cases.

There are special rules for handling business information. Some business data can be protected under an administrative order if it is filed on time.

Anyone giving information must certify that it is true and complete. The information may be used by the USITC and other U.S. government staff for work and for security checks.

Deadlines for Responses:
  • All responses must be sent by 5:15 p.m. on February 2, 2026.
  • Comments on the responses are due by 5:15 p.m. on March 16, 2026.

All documents must be sent in electronically. No paper copies are allowed right now. Filings should be made through the USITC’s EDIS system (https://edis.usitc.gov).

Information Requested by the USITC:

The commission wants detailed information from companies, groups, and associations. They are encouraged to use a special Excel form found at https://usitc.gov/reports/response_noi_worksheet.

Information to provide includes:

  • Name, address, and contact details of the firm or group.
  • If the group is an interested party and why.
  • Willingness to take part fully in the review.
  • The likely effects of ending these trade orders on U.S. companies and on the person or group filing.
  • A list of U.S. makers of these products and details on related parties.
  • A list of current importers and exporters from China.
  • Names of top buyers in the U.S. for these products.
  • Where to find price information for these items.
  • U.S. producer data, including amounts made, capacity, shipments, and sales values for 2025.
  • U.S. importer data for 2025.
  • Foreign producer/exporter data for 2025.
  • Any major changes in supply or demand in the U.S. or China since the orders started, and expected changes.
  • (Optional) If the filer agrees with the definitions used in the review.

If any group cannot provide the requested data, they must explain why and suggest other ways to give similar information. Failing to provide information could mean the USITC makes decisions against that party based on what it knows.

This review uses the authority of Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930.

This notice was signed by Susan Orndoff, Supervisory Attorney, and published on January 2, 2026.
