SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 16, 2021, Commerce published in the
Federal Register
the countervailing duty order on millwork products from China.[1]
On February 2, 2026, Commerce published in the
Federal Register
a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the
Order
for the period of review January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025.[2]
We received timely requests for an administrative review from the Coalition of American Millwork Producers (CAMP or petitioner),[3]
and five Chinese producers of subject merchandise: Bel Trade Wood Industrial
( printed page 69816)
Co., Ltd Youxi Fujian (Bel Trade), Baixing Import and Export Trading Co., Ltd Youxi Fujian, Fujian Hongjia Craft Products, Co., Ltd., Huaan Longda Wood Industry Co., Ltd, and Longquan Jiefeng Trade Co., Ltd. (Jiefeng) (collectively, Bel Trade
et al.
).[4]
We initiated an administrative review with respect to 34 companies on March 31, 2026, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act) and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i).[5]
On April 14, 2026, we placed on the record U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data for the entries of millwork products from China during the POR and invited interested parties to comment.[6]
No interested party submitted comments regarding the CBP data. On May 14, 2026, we selected Bel Trade Wood Industrial Co., and Zhangzhou Wangjiamei Industry and Trade Co., Ltd., as mandatory respondents in the administrative review.[7]
On June 29, 2026, the petitioner timely filed a withdrawal request with respect to 14 companies for which it requested an administrative review, and Bel Trade withdrew its request for an administrative review of itself.[8]
On July 30, 2026, Commerce issued a memorandum of intent to rescind the administrative review with respect to 21 companies that had no suspended entries of subject merchandise in the CBP data during the POR and inviting interested parties to comment.[9]
Commerce received no comments on the intent to rescind memorandum. On August 3, 2026, Bel Trade
et al.
submitted a letter notifying Commerce of an errata in its withdrawal of administrative review, stating that its rescission letter was intended to withdraw the review for all companies in its review request.[10]
On August 25, 2026, Commerce issued a memorandum noting that all companies requested for administrative review for the POR had either been withdrawn in entirety by requesting parties or did not have a suspended entry of subject merchandise during the POR. Commerce stated that we intended to rescind the administrative review in absence of any suspended entries during the POR from companies subject to the review for which all review requests were not withdrawn and invited interested parties to comment.[11]
We received no comments from interested parties.
Rescission of Administrative Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested a review withdraws its request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation. On June 29, 2026, CAMP and Bel Trade
et al.
both submitted partial withdrawals of their respective review requests,[12]
and Bel Trade
et al.
filed an errata to their review request to clarify a full withdrawal.[13]
Accordingly, we are rescinding the review for the 14 companies for which all requests for review were withdrawn.[14]
Additionally, Commerce notified interested parties that, in the absence of suspended entries during the POR, we intended to rescind this administrative review with respect to the producers and/or exporters listed in Attachment II of this notice, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).[15]
We received no comments from interested parties on this memorandum. Therefore, we find that there are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise for these 20 companies based on our review of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data on the record.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to rescind an administrative review of a countervailing duty order when Commerce concludes that there were no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR for an exporter or producer.[16]
Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the countervailing duty assessment rate for the review period.[17]
Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate at the calculated countervailing duty assessment rate for the review period.[18]
As noted above, there were no entries of subject merchandise during the POR from any of the companies remaining under review. Accordingly, in the absence of reviewable, suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we are rescinding this administrative review, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1) and (3).
Cash Deposit Requirements
As Commerce has proceeded to a final rescission of this administrative review, no cash deposit rates will change. Accordingly, the current cash deposit requirements shall remain in effect until further notice.
Assessment
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated countervailing duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, during the period January 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication of this notice in the
Federal Register
.
Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to an APO of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.
