SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with sections 705(d) and 735(d) of the Tariff Act of
1930, as amended (the Act), on June 15, 2026, Commerce published its
affirmative final determination of sales at less than fair value (LTFV)
of door panels from China \1\ and its affirmative final determination
that countervailable subsidies are being provided to producers and
exporters of door panels from China.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, 91
FR 35960 (June 15, 2026) (LTFV Final Determination).
\2\ See Fiberglass Door Panels from the People's Republic of
China: Final Affirmative Countervailing Duty Determination, 91 FR
35963 (June 15, 2026) (CVD Final Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On July 28, 2026, in accordance with sections 705(d) and 735(d) of
the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final affirmative
determinations that an industry in the United States is materially
injured by reason of dumped imports of door panels from China, and
subsidized imports of door panels from China, within the meaning of
sections 705(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See ITC's Letter, ``Notification of ITC Final
Determinations,'' dated July 28, 2026 (ITC Notification Letter).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Orders
The product covered by these orders are door panels from China. For
a complete description of the scope of the orders, see the appendix to
this notice.
AD Order
On July 28, 2026, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the
ITC notified Commerce of its final determination that an industry in
the United States is materially injured within the meaning of section
735(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of imports of door panels from
China that are sold in the United States at LTFV.\4\ Therefore, in
accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, Commerce is
issuing this AD order. Because the ITC determined that imports of door
panels from China are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated
entries of such merchandise from China, entered or withdrawn from
warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping
duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Id.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act,
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal
to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the
export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise on all
relevant entries of door panels from China. Antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of door panels from China entered, or
withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after January 22, 2026,
the date of publication of the LTFV Preliminary Determination,\5\ but
will not include entries occurring after the expiration of provision
measures period and before the publication of the ITC's final injury
determination under section 735(b) of the Act, as further described
below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See Fiberglass Door Panels from the People's Republic of
China: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value, Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of
Provisional Measures, 91 FR 2736 (January 22, 2026) (LTFV
Preliminary Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits--AD
Except as noted in the ``Provisional Measures--AD'' section of this
notice, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension
of liquidation of door panels from China, effective on the date of
publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination in the
Federal Register in accordance with section 736 of the Act. These
instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further
notice.
Commerce also intends to instruct CBP to require cash deposits
equal to the estimated weighted-average dumping margins listed in the
table below, adjusted by the relevant export subsidy offsets.
Accordingly, effective on the date of publication in the Federal
Register of the notice of the ITC's final affirmative injury
determination, CBP will require, at the same time as importers would
normally deposit estimated customs duties on subject merchandise, a
cash deposit equal to the rates listed in the table below. The rate for
the China-wide entity applies to all producers and exporters not
specifically listed, as appropriate.
These instructions suspending liquidation and cash deposit
requirements will remain in effect until further notice.
Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins
The estimated weighted-average dumping margins are as follows:

Provisional Measures--AD
Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in
effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a
significant proportion of export of the subject merchandise request
that Commerce extend the four-month period to no more than six months.
At the request of exporters that accounted for a significant proportion
of exports of door panels from China, Commerce extended the four-month
period to no more than six months.\6\ In the underlying investigation,
Commerce published the LTFV Preliminary Determination on January 22,
2026. Therefore, the six-month period beginning on the date of
publication ended on July 20, 2026. Pursuant to section 737(b) of the
Act, the collection of cash deposits will begin on the date of
publication of the ITC's final injury determinations. Therefore, in
accordance with section 733(d) of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP
to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate, without
regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries of door panels from
China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after
July 21, 2026, the first day provisional measures were no longer in
effect, until and through the day preceding the date of publication of
the ITC's final injury determination in the Federal Register.
Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash deposits will
resume on the date of publication of the ITC's final determination in
the Federal Register.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ Id., 91 FR at 2738.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CVD Order
As stated above, on July 28, 2026, the ITC notified Commerce of its
final determination that an industry is materially injured within the
meaning of section 705(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Act by reason of subsidized
imports of door panels from China.\7\ Therefore, in accordance with
section 705(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is issuing this CVD order.
Moreover, because the ITC determined that imports of door panels from
China are materially injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated entries of
subject merchandise from China, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption, are subject to the assessment of countervailing
duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See ITC Notification Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Therefore, in accordance with section 706(a) of the Act, Commerce
intends to direct CBP to assess, upon further instructions by Commerce,
countervailing duties on all relevant entries of door panels from China
entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after
August 21, 2025, the date of publication of the CVD Preliminary
Determination,\8\ but will not include entries occurring after the
expiration of the provisional measures period and before the
publication of the ITC's final injury determination under section
705(b) of the Act, as further described below.

Determination).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suspension of Liquidation and Cash Deposits--CVD
In accordance with section 706 of the Act, Commerce intends to
instruct CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of door
panels from China, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's
final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register, and to
assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, pursuant to section
706(a)(1) of the Act, countervailing duties on each entry of subject
merchandise in an amount based on the net countervailable subsidy rates
below. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect
until further notice.
Commerce also intends, pursuant to section 706(a)(1) of the Act, to
instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the amounts as indicated
below. Accordingly, effective on the date of publication of the ITC's
final affirmative injury determination in the Federal Register, CBP
will require, at the same time as importers would normally deposit
estimated duties on the subject merchandise, a cash deposit equal to
the rates listed in the table below.\9\ The all-others rate applies to
all producers or exporters not specifically listed, as appropriate.
These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until
further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ See section 706(a)(3) of the Act.

Provisional Measures--CVD
Section 703(d) of the Act states that the suspension of liquidation
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in
effect for more than four months. Commerce published the CVD
Preliminary Determination on August 21, 2025.\12\ Therefore, entries of
door panels from China made on or after December 19, 2025, and prior to
the date of publication of the ITC's final determinations in the
Federal Register, are not subject to the assessment of countervailing
duties due to Commerce's discontinuation of the suspension of
liquidation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ Commerce has found the following company to be cross-owned
with Dalian Capstone Engineering Co., Ltd.: Qinhuangdao Entrylite
Co., Ltd.
\11\ Commerce has found the following companies to be cross-
owned with Jiangxi Fangda Tech Co., Ltd.: (1) Jiangxi Hangda Tech
Co., Ltd.; (2) Jiangxi Onda Tech Co., Ltd.; and (3) Nanchang Fangda
Door Tech Co., Ltd.
\12\ See CVD Preliminary Determination.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with section 703(d) of the Act, Commerce instructed
CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate,
without regard to countervailing duties, certain unliquidated entries
of door panels from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption, on or after December 19, 2025, the date on which the
provisional measures expired, until and through the day preceding the
date of publication of the ITC's final injury determination in the
Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation and the collection of cash
deposits will resume on the date of publication of the ITC's
affirmative final injury determination in the Federal Register.
Establishment of the Annual Inquiry Service Lists
On September 20, 2021, Commerce published the Final Rule in the
Federal Register.\13\ On September 27, 2021,
[[Page 50800]]
Commerce also published the Procedural Guidance in the Federal
Register.\14\ The Final Rule and Procedural Guidance provide that
Commerce will maintain an annual inquiry service list for each order or
suspended investigation, and any interested party submitting a scope
ruling application or request for circumvention inquiry shall serve a
copy of the application or request on the persons on the annual inquiry
service list for that order, as well as any companion order covering
the same merchandise from the same country of origin.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ See Regulations to Improve Administration and Enforcement
of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Laws, 86 FR 52300 (September
20, 2021) (Final Rule).
\14\ See Scope Ruling Application; Annual Inquiry Service List;
and Informational Sessions, 86 FR 53205 (September 27, 2021)
(Procedural Guidance).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with the Procedural Guidance, for orders published in
the Federal Register after November 4, 2021, Commerce will create an
annual inquiry service list segment in Commerce's online e-filing and
document management system, Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Electronic Service System (ACCESS), available at <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>, within five business days of publication of the
notice of the order. Each annual inquiry service list will be saved in
ACCESS, under each case number, and under a specific segment type
called ``AISL-Annual Inquiry Service List.'' \15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ This segment will be combined with the ACCESS Segment
Specific Information (SSI) field which will display the month in
which the notice of the order or suspended investigation was
published in the Federal Register, also known as the anniversary
month. For example, for an order under case number A-000-000 that
was published in the Federal Register in January, the relevant
segment and SSI combination will appear in ACCESS as ``AISL-January
Anniversary.'' Note that there will be only one annual inquiry
service list segment per case number, and the anniversary month will
be pre-populated in ACCESS.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Interested parties who wish to be added to the annual inquiry
service list for an order must submit an entry of appearance to the
annual inquiry service list segment for the order in ACCESS within 30
days after the date of publication of the order. For ease of
administration, Commerce requests that law firms with more than one
attorney representing interested parties in an order designate a lead
attorney to be included on the annual inquiry service list. Commerce
will finalize the annual inquiry service list within five business days
thereafter. As mentioned in the Procedural Guidance,\16\ the new annual
inquiry service list will be in place until the following year, when
the Opportunity Notice for the anniversary month of the order is
published.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ See Procedural Guidance, 86 FR at 53206.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Commerce may update an annual inquiry service list at any time as
needed based on interested parties' amendments to their entries of
appearance to remove or otherwise modify their list of members and
representatives, or to update contact information. Any changes or
announcements pertaining to these procedures will be posted to the
ACCESS website at <a href="https://access.trade.gov">https://access.trade.gov</a>.
Special Instructions for the Petitioner and Foreign Governments
In the Final Rule, Commerce stated that, ``after an initial request
and placement on the annual inquiry service list, both petitioners and
foreign governments will automatically be placed on the annual inquiry
service list in the years that follow.'' \17\ Accordingly, as stated
above, the petitioner and foreign governments should submit their
initial entries of appearance after publication of this notice in order
to appear in the first annual inquiry service lists for these orders.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.225(n)(3), the petitioner and foreign
governments will not need to resubmit their entries of appearance each
year to continue to be included on the annual inquiry service list.
However, the petitioner and foreign governments are responsible for
making amendments to their entries of appearance during the annual
update to the annual inquiry service list in accordance with the
procedures described above.

Appendix--Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these orders consists of fiberglass
door panels, including fiberglass sidelites, whether finished or
unfinished, whether assembled or unassembled, whether pre-hung or
included in an entry door system. The subject fiberglass door panels
consist of at least one fiberglass skin, and may contain (1) frames
typically made of wood or composite stiles, bottom rails, and top
rails, (2) binding materials, including adhesives or fasteners, and
(3) insulation foam or other insulating material, and may be
assembled with glass lites (glass that is ultimately installed in
the fiberglass door panel). Fiberglass sidelites (or ``sidelights'')
are typically smaller in width than fiberglass door panels, and
consist of at least one fiberglass skin, and may contain (1) frames
typically made of wood or composite stiles, bottom rails, and top
rails, (2) binding materials, including adhesives or fasteners, and
(3) insulation foam or other insulating material, and may be
assembled with glass lites (glass that is ultimately installed in
the fiberglass sidelite). Subject merchandise includes fiberglass
door panels and sidelites whether the fiberglass skin surface is
painted or unpainted, contains or does not contain cut-outs for door
components, or assembled or unassembled with glass lites in the
door.
The country of origin of the fiberglass door panel is determined
by where the fiberglass door skin is pressed.
Fiberglass door panels and sidelites are covered by these orders
whether they are imported attached to, or in conjunction with door
components and accessories (including but not limited to door jambs,
door handles, locks, hinges, door stoppers, door kicks, door
thresholds, door sills, and trim), in a pre-hung door system, or an
entry door system. Subject fiberglass door panels and sidelites are
covered whether or not they are accompanied by other parts. However,
if a subject fiberglass door panel or sidelite is imported in a pre-
hung door system or entry door system, only the fiberglass door
panel and sidelite, including when assembled with glass lites or
when the glass lites are shipped with the subject merchandise for
further assembly, are covered by the scope. Door components and
accessories (including but not limited to transoms, door jambs, door
handles, locks, hinges, door stoppers, door kicks, door thresholds,
door sills, and trim) are not included in the scope when imported
with a fiberglass door panel or sidelite, including when such
components or accessories are assembled to a fiberglass door panel
or sidelite, or when imported separately. Subject merchandise may be
impact-rated to withstand hurricane force wind loads and may be
reinforced with steel sheet or plate. Impact-rated doors may be
certified to Testing Application Standards (TAS) 201/202/203-94/and
American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) E330-02/14/M-14,
E1886-05/13a/, or E1996-09/14a.
Subject merchandise may be fire-rated for up to 90 minutes and
may contain flame retardant composites, including, but not limited
to flame retardant foam or mineral core materials, including but not
limited to low density calcium silicate. Fire-rated doors generally
satisfy the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 252 Standard
Methods of Fire Tests of Door Assemblies and UL10(b) and (c)-
Standard for Safety-Fire Tests of Door Assemblies.
Subject merchandise also includes fiberglass door panels and
sidelites that have
[[Page 50801]]
been processed in a third country, including but not limited to one
or more of the following: filling with insulation foam, trimming,
cutting, notching, punching, drilling, painting, finishing,
assembly, or any other processing that would not otherwise remove
the merchandise from the scope of these orders if performed in the
country of manufacture of the in-scope product. The inclusion of
other parts, such as door components and accessories (including but
not limited to door jambs, door handles, locks, hinges, door
stoppers, door kicks, door thresholds, door sills, and trim) in a
third country does not remove the fiberglass door panels and
sidelites from the scope.
Excluded from the scope of these orders are all products covered
by the scope of the antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders
on wood mouldings and millwork products from China. 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); and Wood Mouldings and
Millwork Products from the People's Republic of China:
Countervailing Duty Order, 86 FR 9484 (February 16, 2021).
Excluded from the scope of these orders are all products covered
by the scope of the antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders
on float glass products from China. See Float Glass Products From
the People's Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order, 91 FR 17250

Float Glass Products From the People's Republic of China and
Malaysia: Countervailing Duty Orders, 91 FR 17253 (April 6, 2026).
