Commerce has issued an antidumping duty order on wood mouldings and millwork products from China following affirmative final determinations by both itself and the International Trade Commission. This means that these imported products were sold in the U.S. at less than fair value, causing harm to the U.S. industry. As part of this order, unliquidated entries of these products will be subject to antidumping duties calculated based on how much the merchandise's normal value exceeds its export price. Additionally, Commerce corrected a ministerial error in its calculations that affected some companies' dumping margins. The scope of the order includes various descriptions and exclusions of wood products as detailed in the appendix.

Bhd. and Pertama Ferroalloys Sdn. Bhd, for which the agency adjusted the cash deposit rates based on their dumping margins. The U.S. International Trade Commission will follow up with its own investigation to assess potential harm to the U.S. domestic industry.

However, the court found Supermel's discrepancies minor and ordered the review of these duties. Following this ruling, Commerce adjusted the duty rates for Supermel and other producers, relying on verified data rather than their previous adverse determination.
