The U.S. Department of Commerce preliminarily found that countervailable subsidies were provided to certain producers and exporters of wood mouldings and millwork products from China during the January 1-December 31, 2024 period of review. Commerce is also rescinding the review with respect to 22 companies. Interested parties may comment on the preliminary results.
The 2024 period of review runs January 1 through December 31, 2024, and the preliminary results published May 8, 2026 reflect the standard Commerce administrative review cycle under 19 U.S.C. 1675. The neighboring AD sunset review final result for A-570-117 on the same product indicates continued active enforcement attention to the wood mouldings and millwork order complex against China.
Domestic wood mouldings and millwork producers, the likely petitioner coalition in this order, benefit from continued CVD enforcement that raises the cost of Chinese imports. U.S. importers and downstream buyers, including home-improvement retailers and millwork distributors, face higher costs when preliminary rates are elevated. The rescission of 22 companies from the review reduces the administrative burden on those companies but does not affect the broader order.
China is the named target country. CVD administrative reviews under this order carry WTO notification obligations, and Chinese exporters or the Chinese government may challenge methodology at the CIT or through WTO dispute settlement, consistent with standard practice on China CVD orders. The HS Chapter 44 scope means supply-chain redirection through third countries is a structural risk that Commerce and CBP typically address through scope and circumvention inquiries.
