The merchandise subject to these investigations can be continuously shaped along any of its edges, ends, or faces. The percentage of composite materials contained in a wood moulding or millwork product is measured by length, except when the composite material is a coating or cladding. Wood mouldings and millwork products that are coated or clad, even along their entire length, with a composite material, but that are otherwise comprised of wood, LVL, or wood and composite materials (where the non-coating composite materials make up 50 percent or less of the total merchandise) are covered by the scope. The merchandise subject to these investigations consists of wood, LVL, bamboo, or a combination of wood and composite materials that is continuously shaped throughout its length (with the exception of any endwork/dados), profiled wood having a repetitive design in relief, similar milled wood architectural accessories, such as rosettes and plinth blocks, and fingerjointed or edge-glued moulding or millwork blanks (whether or not resawn). The scope includes continuously shaped wood in the forms of dowels, building components such as interior paneling and jamb parts, and door components such as rails, stiles, interior and exterior door frames or jambs (including split, flat, stop applied, single- or double-rabbeted), frame or jamb kits, and packaged door frame trim or casing sets, whether or not the door components are imported as part of a door kit or set.

All wood mouldings and millwork products are included within the scope even if they are trimmed; cut-to-size; notched; punched; drilled; or have undergone other forms of minor processing. Subject merchandise also includes wood mouldings and millwork products that have been further processed in a third country, including but not limited to trimming, cutting, notching, punching, drilling, coating, or any other processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from the scope of the investigations if performed in the country of manufacture of the in-scope product. Excluded from the scope of these investigations are countertop/ butcherblocks, exterior fencing, exterior decking and exterior siding products (including solid wood siding, non-wood siding (e.g., composite or cement), and shingles) that are not LVL or finger jointed; finished and unfinished doors; flooring; parts of stair steps (including newel posts, balusters, easing, gooseneck, risers, treads, rail fittings and stair stringers); picture frame components three feet and under in individual lengths; and lumber whether solid, finger-jointed, or edge-glued. To be excluded from the scope, fingerjointed or edge-glued lumber must have a nominal thickness greater than 1.5 inches and a certification stamp from an American Lumber Standard Committeecertified grading bureau.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Scope.--For purposes of these investigations, Commerce has defined 
the subject merchandise as ``wood mouldings and millwork products that 
are made of wood (regardless of wood species), bamboo, laminated veneer 
lumber (LVL), or of wood and composite materials (where the composite 
materials make up less than 50 percent of the total merchandise), and 
which are continuously shaped wood or finger-jointed or edge-glued 
moulding or millwork blanks (whether or not resawn). The merchandise 
subject to these investigations can be continuously shaped along any of 
its edges, ends, or faces.
    The percentage of composite materials contained in a wood moulding 
or millwork product is measured by length, except when the composite 
material is a coating or cladding. Wood mouldings and millwork products 
that are coated or clad, even along their entire length, with a 
composite material, but that are otherwise comprised of wood, LVL, or 
wood and composite materials (where the non-coating composite materials 
make up 50 percent or less of the total merchandise) are covered by the 
scope.
    The merchandise subject to these investigations consists of wood, 
LVL, bamboo, or a combination of wood and composite materials that is 
continuously shaped throughout its length (with the exception of any 
endwork/dados), profiled wood having a repetitive design in relief, 
similar milled wood architectural accessories, such as rosettes and 
plinth blocks, and fingerjointed or edge-glued moulding or millwork 
blanks (whether or not resawn). The scope includes continuously shaped 
wood in the forms of dowels, building components such as interior 
paneling and jamb parts, and door components such as rails, stiles, 
interior and exterior door frames or jambs (including split, flat, stop 
applied, single- or double-rabbeted), frame or jamb kits, and packaged 
door frame trim or casing sets, whether or not the door components are 
imported as part of a door kit or set.
    The covered products may be solid wood, laminated, finger-jointed, 
edge-glued, face-glued, or otherwise joined in the production or 
remanufacturing process and are covered by the scope whether imported 
raw, coated (e.g., gesso, polymer, or plastic), primed, painted, 
stained, wrapped (paper or vinyl overlay), any combination of the 
aforementioned surface coatings, treated, or which incorporate rot-
resistant elements (whether wood or composite). The covered products 
are covered by the scope whether or not any surface coating(s) or 
covers obscures the grain, textures, or markings of the wood, whether 
or not they are ready for use or require final machining (e.g., 
endwork/dado, hinge/strike machining, weatherstrip or application 
thereof, mitre) or packaging.
    All wood mouldings and millwork products are included within the 
scope even if they are trimmed; cut-to-size; notched; punched; drilled; 
or have undergone other forms of minor processing.
    Subject merchandise also includes wood mouldings and millwork 
products that have been further processed in a third country, including 
but not limited to trimming, cutting, notching, punching, drilling, 
coating, or any other processing that would not otherwise remove the 
merchandise from the scope of the investigations if performed in the 
country of manufacture of the in-scope product.
    Excluded from the scope of these investigations are countertop/
butcherblocks, exterior fencing, exterior decking and exterior siding 
products (including solid wood siding, non-wood siding (e.g., composite 
or cement), and shingles) that are not LVL or finger jointed; finished 
and unfinished doors; flooring; parts of stair steps (including newel 
posts, balusters, easing, gooseneck, risers, treads, rail fittings and 
stair stringers); picture frame components three feet and under in 
individual lengths; and lumber whether solid, finger-jointed, or edge-
glued. To be excluded from the scope, finger-jointed or edge-glued 
lumber must have a nominal thickness greater than 1.5 inches and a 
certification stamp from an American Lumber Standard Committee-
certified grading bureau. The exclusion for lumber whether solid, 
finger-jointed, or edge-glued does not apply to screen/``surfaced on 4 
sides'' (S4S) and/or ``surface 1 side, 2 edges'' (S1S2E) stock (also 
called boards) that are finger-jointed, edge-glued mouldings, or 
millwork blanks (whether or not resawn).
    Excluded from the scope of these investigations are all products 
covered by the scope of the antidumping duty order on Hardwood Plywood 
from the People's Republic of China. See Certain Hardwood Plywood 
Products from the People's Republic of China: Amended Final

    Background.--The final phase of these investigations is being 
scheduled pursuant to sections 705(b) and 731(b) of the Tariff Act of 
1930 (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 1673d(b)), as a result of affirmative 
preliminary determinations by Commerce that certain benefits which 
constitute subsidies within the meaning of Sec.  703 of the Act (19 
U.S.C. 1671b) are being provided to manufacturers, producers, or 
exporters in China of wood mouldings and millwork products, and that 
such products are being sold in the United States at less than fair 
value within the meaning of Sec.  733 of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b). The 
investigations were requested in petitions filed on January 8, 2020, by 
the Coalition of American Millwork Producers (Bright Wood Corporation, 
Madras, Oregon; Cascade Wood Products, Inc., White City, Oregon; Endura 
Products, Inc., Colfax, North Carolina; Sierra Pacific Industries, Red 
Bluff, California; Sunset Moulding, Live Oak, California; Woodgrain
