SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On February 16, 2021, Commerce published the Order on millwork products from China.[1] On January 2, 2026, Commerce published the notice of initiation of the first sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.218(c).[2]

On January 20, 2026, Commerce received a notice of intent to participate in this review from the domestic interested party,[3] within the deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(1)(i).[4] The domestic interested party claims that it has interested party status within the meaning of section 771(9)(F) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.102(b)(29)(vii)-(viii) as a coalition of U.S. producers of the domestic like product.[5]

On February 2, 2026, Commerce received an adequate substantive response from the domestic interested party, within the 30-day deadline specified in 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3)(i).[6] Commerce did not receive a substantive response from either the Government of China or a respondent interested party to this proceeding. On February 23, 2026, Commerce notified the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) that it did not receive an adequate substantive response from respondent interested parties.[7] As a result, Commerce conducted an expedited (120-day) sunset review of the Order, pursuant to section 751(c)(3)(B) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.218(e)(1)(ii)(B)(2) and (C)(2).
