The calculations to arrive at the CVD rates were first challenged after the final results were published, and Commerce made ministerial changes to its methods and published, on Dec. 1, 2021, amended final results. Those amended results were then challenged, and the Court of International Trade on Aug. 29 made its final judgment.
The CVD rates for Jiangsu Senmao Bamboo Wood Industry Co., Ltd.; Riverside Plywood Corporation and its cross-owned affiliate Baroque Timber Industries (Zhongshan) Co., Ltd.; and the non-selected companies under review are affected.
The following amended rates, with previously applicable rates in parentheses, are applicable Sept. 8, 2025:
| Producer/Exporter | CVD Rate |
|---|---|
| Riverside Plywood Corp. and cross-owned affiliates Baroque Timber Industries/Suzhou Times Flooring Co., Ltd | 9.02% (from 9.18%) |
| Jiangsu Senmao Bamboo and Wood Industry Co., Ltd. | 5.29% (from 6.13%) |
| Review Average Rate for Non-Selected Companies (see Appendix II) | 7.91% (from 8.27%) |
However, there are superseding cash deposit rates for Riverside and Baroque, Jiangsu Senmao and 19 other companies listed in Appendix I of the final amended results notice, so the current cash deposit rate for those exporters/producers will not be affected by the results in this notice.
Commerce will issue revised cash deposit instructions to CBP for non-selected company Dailan Shengyu Science and Technology Development Co., Ltd., which doesn't have a superseding cash deposit rate.
Commerce said that, at this time, it remains enjoined by the CIT order from "liquidating entries that: were produced and/or exported by Riverside Plywood Corporation, including its cross-owned affiliates; Jiangsu Senmao Bamboo Wood Industry Co., Ltd.; and the companies listed in Appendix II of this notice, and were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption during the period January 1, 2018, through December 31, 2018. These entries will remain enjoined pursuant to the terms of the injunction during the pendency of any appeals process."
(The review period is 01/01/18 - 12/31/18. See Commerce's notice for more information. See 2110260050 for a summary of the original final results and 2111300027 for a summary of the first amended results of this review.)
