CIT sustains Commerce scope ruling on Chinese wooden cabinets further processed in Vietnam

The U.S. Court of International Trade sustained Commerce's final scope determination covering wooden cabinets and vanities and components thereof from China, holding that cabinets produced in China and combined in Vietnam with Vietnamese-made wooden parts remain Chinese in origin and within the antidumping and countervailing duty orders. Cabinets containing a Chinese-made wooden toe kick with all other wooden parts produced in Vietnam are third-country in origin and outside the orders. Judge Leo M. Gordon issued the opinion in Court No. 24-00156, Slip Op. 26-40, dated April 21, 2026, denying the plaintiffs' motion for judgment on the agency record.
