USITC Keeps China Wood Mouldings and Millwork Orders in Place
The USITC determined in the five-year (sunset) reviews of investigations 701-TA-636 and 731-TA-1470 that revoking the existing AD/CVD orders on wood mouldings and millwork products from China would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. The existing orders remain in place.
This is order continuation, not a new investigation. Importers and customers sourcing China-origin wood mouldings and millwork should hold cash-deposit, scope, sourcing, and customer-quote assumptions in place rather than relaxing them.

USITC Keeps Vietnam Frozen Fish Fillets AD Order in Place
The USITC issued its determination in the fourth five-year (sunset) review of investigation 731-TA-1012, finding that revoking the antidumping duty order on certain frozen fish fillets from Vietnam would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. The existing order remains in place.
This is order continuation through a fourth sunset review, not a new AD investigation. Importers of covered Vietnam-origin frozen fish fillets should keep duty-continuation and cash-deposit assumptions unchanged until the published views are reviewed.

White House Continues North Korea National Emergency for One Year
The President continued for one year the national emergency declared under IEEPA in Executive Order 13466 with respect to North Korea, preserving the authority that supports existing U.S. restrictions and sanctions measures rather than adding a new program.
This extends existing authority, not a new sanctions action. Sanctions and legal teams should keep North Korea counterparty, ownership and control, vessel, payment-chain, and end-use screening current.

Qatar Melamine Litigation Moves After CIT Remand
The melamine-from-Qatar antidumping litigation remains active at the U.S. Court of International Trade after Slip Op. 26-64. In Cornerstone Chemical Company v. United States (Court No. 25-00005, Slip Op. 26-64, June 17, 2026), the court sustained Commerce's negative dumping determination in part and remanded in part, requiring Commerce to further explain its selection of Turkey as the third-country comparison market in light of Cornerstone's sales-based particular-market-situation argument. Qatar Melamine Company is a defendant-intervenor in the litigation.
This is remand risk, not a final ruling. Importers and counsel with melamine-from-Qatar exposure should track Commerce's remand redetermination and the comparison-market question, which could shift the dumping calculation.
