US maintains antidumping duties on Chinese wood mouldings
The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed its expedited first sunset review of antidumping duties on wood mouldings and millwork products from China. Commerce determined that revoking the order would likely result in continuation or recurrence of dumping. The duties remain in force, affecting importers of these products from China.

On 5 May 2026, the U.S. Department of Commerce issued final results of the expedited first sunset review of its antidumping duty order on wood mouldings and millwork products from the People's Republic of China. Commerce determined that revocation of the order would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping.
Who is affected
Importers of wood mouldings and millwork products classified under HS Chapter 44 sourced from China face ongoing antidumping duties. These duties apply to finished mouldings, trim, and related millwork items used in construction, furniture manufacturing, and decorative applications.
In a sunset review, Commerce reassesses whether an existing antidumping order should remain in place. The expedited nature of this first sunset review (typically conducted five years after the original order) means Commerce found sufficient evidence of likely dumping continuation without requiring a full administrative review.
"Commerce finds that revocation of the antidumping duty (AD) order on wood mouldings and millwork products (millwork products) from the People's Republic of China (China) would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping, at the levels indicated in the 'Final Results of Sunset Review' section of this notice."
Shippers and importers must continue to pay applicable antidumping duties at entry, and duties cannot be claimed back or suspended. The order remains active pending any further administrative or judicial review.
What this means for shippers
If you import wood mouldings and millwork from China, antidumping duties stay in effect immediately. Verify the exact duty rate applicable to your product classification and recalculate landed cost accordingly. Review your supplier sourcing strategy now—Chinese millwork will remain more expensive than pre-dumping-order pricing. File any administrative appeals or request for revocation before the deadline, or explore alternative sourcing. Check your HS classification at /hs-codes/search to confirm duties apply to your shipments.
