USA - The U.S. Department of Commerce informed of affirmative final determinations in the antidumping duty investigation of wood mouldings and millwork products from China, and the countervailing duty investigation of Chinese wood mouldings and millwork products.

The department of Commerce also informed of a negative final determination in the antidumping duty investigation of wood mouldings and millwork products from Brazil.

The Coalition of American Millwork Producers filed the antidumping petitions on Jan. 8, 2020, claiming "dumped" moulding and millwork products by the two countries resulted in an increased market share of more than 10 percentage points during the period of 2016 through 2019, while the U.S. industry lost 7 to 9 percentage points of market share during the same period. In 2019, imports of wood mouldings and millwork products from China were valued at approximately USD 193 million, while imports from Brazil were valued at approximately USD 315 million.

The investigation determined that exporters from China have dumped wood mouldings and millwork products in the United States at margins ranging from 44.60 percent to 230.36 percent.  In addition, the department of Commerce determined that exporters from China received countervailable subsidies at rates ranging from 20.56 percent to 252.29 percent.
