ITC Schedules Expedited Five-Year Reviews of AD/CVD Orders on Chinese Wood Mouldings
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission has scheduled expedited five-year reviews of the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on wood mouldings and millwork products from China, pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Tariff Act of 1930. The Commission determined that the domestic interested party response was adequate while the respondent interested party response was inadequate, triggering the expedited (abbreviated) review process. The Commission has also exercised its authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days, deeming the reviews extraordinarily complicated.
“The Commission hereby gives notice of the scheduling of expedited reviews pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (“the Act”) to determine whether revocation of the antidumping duty order and countervailing duty order on wood mouldings and millwork products from China would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.”
Importers and distributors of Chinese wood mouldings and millwork products face a direct compliance risk: a维持 decision extends current AD/CVD duties, while revocation eliminates them. The Coalition of American Millwork Producers is the named domestic interested party that triggered this review, meaning domestic millwork producers actively support continuation of duties. Any party — including importers, trade counsel, or downstream users — may file written comments by May 29, 2026, but such comments may not contain new factual information. Parties who may be affected by the outcome should review the non-public staff report (available May 22, 2026 on the APO service list) before submitting comments.

What changed
The ITC has initiated expedited five-year sunset reviews to assess whether the current AD and CVD orders on Chinese wood mouldings and millwork should remain in force for another five years. Because the domestic industry (Coalition of American Millwork Producers) provided an adequate response to the institution notice while foreign respondent parties did not, the Commission is conducting an expedited review — a shorter review process that relies on existing record information rather than a full investigation.
Importers and foreign exporters of Chinese wood mouldings and millwork products should monitor this proceeding closely, as a revocation decision would eliminate the current duty obligations on these products. Domestic manufacturers should ensure their interests are represented in any comments filed, as the outcome directly affects the competitive landscape for domestically produced millwork. The Commission may extend the review period by up to 90 days, with comments on Commerce's final results due three business days after issuance.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background. —On April 7, 2026, the Commission determined that the domestic interested party group response to its notice of institution
(91 FR 151, January 2, 2026) of the subject five-year reviews was adequate and that the respondent interested party group
response was inadequate. The Commission did not find any other circumstances that would warrant conducting full reviews. (1) Accordingly, the Commission determined that it would conduct expedited reviews pursuant to section 751(c)(3) of the Act (19
U.S.C. 1675(c)(3)).
For further information concerning the conduct of these reviews and rules of general application, consult the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure, part 201, subparts A and B (19 CFR part 201), and part 207, subparts A, D, E, and F (19 CFR
part 207).
Staff report. —A staff report containing information concerning the subject matter of the reviews has been placed in the nonpublic record,
and will be made available to persons on the Administrative Protective Order service list for these reviews on May 22, 2026.
A public version will be issued thereafter, pursuant to § 207.62(d)(4) of the Commission's rules.
Written submissions. —As provided in § 207.62(d) of the Commission's rules, interested parties that are parties to the reviews and that have provided
individually adequate responses to the notice of institution, (2) and any party other than an interested party to the reviews may file written comments with the Secretary on what determination
the Commission should reach in the reviews. Comments are due on or before 5:15 p.m. on May 29, 2026 and may not contain new
factual information. Any person that is neither a party to the five-year reviews nor an interested party may submit a brief
written statement (which shall not contain any new factual information) pertinent to the reviews by May 29, 2026. However,
should the Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) extend the time limit for its completion of the final results of its reviews,
the deadline for comments (which may not contain new factual information) on Commerce's final results is three business days
after the issuance of Commerce's results. If comments contain business proprietary information (BPI), they must conform with
the requirements of §§ 201.6, 207.3, and 207.7 of the Commission's rules. The Commission's Handbook on Filing Procedures, available on the Commission's website at https://www.usitc.gov/documents/handbook_on_filing_procedures.pdf, elaborates upon the Commission's procedures with respect to filings.
In accordance with §§ 201.16(c) and 207.3 of the rules, each document filed by a party to the reviews must be served on all
other parties to the reviews (as identified by either the public or BPI service list), and a certificate of service must be
timely filed. The Secretary will not accept a document for filing without a certificate of service.
Determination. —The Commission has determined these reviews are extraordinarily complicated and therefore has determined to exercise its
authority to extend the review period by up to 90 days pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 1675(c)(5)(B).
Authority: These reviews are being conducted under authority of title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930; this notice is published pursuant
to § 207.62 of the Commission's rules.
By order of the Commission.
Issued: April 16, 2026. Lisa Barton, Secretary to the Commission. [FR Doc. 2026-07684 Filed 4-20-26; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 7020-02-P
Footnotes

adequate. Comments from other interested parties will not be accepted (see 19 CFR 207.62(d)(2)).
