SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On June 16, 2025, Commerce published the Preliminary Results of
this administrative review.\1\ On July 24, 2025, Commerce issued its
Post Preliminary Analysis to make certain changes to its differential
pricing analysis in this administrative review, and invited interested
parties to comment.\2\ Due to the lapse in appropriations and Federal
Government Shutdown, on November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all
deadlines in administrative proceedings by 47 days,\3\ and, due to a
backlog of documents that were electronically filed via Enforcement and
Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic
Service System (ACCESS) during the Federal Government shutdown, on
November 24, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by an additional 21 days.\4\ On November 18, 2025, Commerce
extended the final results deadline by additional 60 days.\5\
Accordingly, the current deadline for the final results of this review
is February 19, 2026.

\7\ See Wood Mouldings and Millwork Products from the People's
Republic of China: Amended Final Antidumping Duty Determination and
Antidumping Duty Order, 86 FR 9486 (February 16, 2021) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The products covered by the Order are millworks from China. A full
description of the scope of the Order is contained in the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
Analysis of Comments Received
All issues raised by interested parties in the case and rebuttal
briefs are addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. A list of
the issues addressed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum is provided
in Appendix I to this notice.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and our analysis of comments
received from interested parties regarding the Preliminary Results,
Commerce made certain changes to the margin calculations for Yinfeng/
Mangrove, Longquan Jiefeng/Senya Board, and the non-selected companies
granted separate rates in this administrative review.\8\ In addition,
we have treated two companies as part of the China-wide entity.\9\ For
further details on the changes since the Preliminary Results, see the
Issues and Decision Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ See Memoranda, ``Final Results Calculation Memorandum for
Yinfeng/Mangrove,'' ``Final Results Calculation Memorandum for
Jiefeng/Senya Board,'' ``Final Calculation of the Cash Deposit Rate
for Non-Selected Companies,'' and, ``Surrogate Values for the Final
Results,'' all dated concurrently with this notice.
\9\ See Appendix III for these companies' names.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Separate Rates
No parties commented on Commerce's preliminary separate rate
decisions. Therefore, for these final results of review, we continue to
grant both mandatory respondents and the companies listed in Appendix
II a separate rate. We note that in the Preliminary Results, Commerce
incorrectly listed Sanming Lintong Trading Co., Ltd. in the list of
companies eligible for a separate rate when, in fact, we rescinded the
review with respect to Sanming Lintong Trading Co., Ltd. in the
Preliminary Results. See the Issues and Decision Memorandum for further
discussion.
China-Wide Entity
As noted in the Preliminary Results, in accordance with Commerce's
policy, the China-wide entity is not under review because no party
specifically requested, and Commerce did not self-initiate, a review of
the China-wide entity.\10\ Thus the weighted-average dumping margin for
the China-wide entity, as adjusted for export subsidies (i.e., 220.87
percent),\11\ is not subject to change as a result of this
administrative review.\12\ Because the two companies listed in Appendix
III did not submit separate rate certifications but had entries of the
subject merchandise during the POR, we have treated these companies as
the part of China-wide entity for these final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See Antidumping Proceedings: Announcement of Change in
Department Practice for Respondent Selection in Antidumping Duty
Proceedings and Conditional Review of the Nonmarket Economy Entity
in NME Antidumping Duty Proceedings, 78 FR 65963 (November 4, 2013);
see also Preliminary Results.
\11\ See Order, 86 FR at 9488. The weighted-average dumping
margin for the China-wide entity (231.60 percent) was adjusted for
export subsidies to determine the cash deposit rate (220.87 percent)
for companies in the China-wide entity.
\12\ See Appendix III.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Results of Administrative Review
Commerce determines that the following weighted-average dumping
margins exist for the POR, February 1, 2023, through January 31, 2024:

Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed for the final
results of this review to parties in this proceeding within five days
of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement,
within five days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
Commerce has determined, and U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by
this review.
For Yinfeng/Mangrove and Longquan Jiefeng/Senya Board, for which we
have calculated weighted-average dumping margins that are not zero or
de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), Commerce calculated importer-
(or customer-) specific ad valorem assessment rates by dividing the
total amount of dumping for all reviewed U.S. sales of subject
merchandise to that importer (or customer) by the total entered value
of the subject merchandise sold to that importer (or customer) in
accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where a respondent did not report
entered value, we calculated per-unit importer- (or customer-) specific
assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of antidumping
duties calculated for the examined sales to the total quantity of those
sales. Where an importer-specific per-unit assessment rate is zero or
de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries
without regard to antidumping duties. We will instruct CBP to assess
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review
when the importer-specific assessment ad valorem rate calculated is
above de minimis (i.e., 0.50 percent). Where an importer-specific ad
valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct
CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regards to antidumping
duties.
We will instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of
220.87 percent to all POR entries of subject merchandise which were
exported by the companies in the China-wide entity.\14\ For entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by the mandatory
respondents for which they did not know their merchandise was destined
for the United States, we intend to instruct CBP to liquidate such
entries at the China-wide rate (i.e., 220.87 percent) if there is no
rate for the intermediate company or companies involved in the
transaction.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ For a full discussion of this practice, see Non-Market
Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
76 FR 64694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of these final results. If a
timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the
assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant
entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory
injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results for all shipments of the subject
merchandise from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by section
751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) for the companies eligible for a separate
rate, including the mandatory respondents, the cash deposit rate will
be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin listed in the table
above; (2) for previously examined Chinese and non-Chinese exporters
not listed above that received a separate rate in a prior completed
segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be
the existing exporter-specific cash deposit rate; (3) for all Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be
entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate for
the China-wide entity (i.e., 220.87 percent); and (4) for all non-
Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their
own separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to
the Chinese exporter that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These
cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until
further notice.
Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent assessment of
double antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order (APO)
This notice also serves as a 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.
Notification to Interested Parties
We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative
review and notice in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of
the Act.
Dated: February 19, 2026.
