These results suggest that the antidumping duties should remain in place to prevent unfair pricing practices from these countries. The document provides details about the review process and the findings related to the likelihood of future dumping.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that wood mouldings and millwork products imported from China are being sold in the U.S. at unfairly low prices.

U.S. Customs will continue to hold some of these imports and require deposits to match the difference between normal and dumped prices until further notice.
