The U.S. Department of Commerce has initiated an antidumping duty administrative review of the existing order on multilayered wood flooring from the People’s Republic of China, covering the period from December 1, 2024, through November 30, 2025.

The review, announced by the International Trade Administration as part of a broader initiation notice covering multiple trade orders, names Hunchun Xingjia Wooden Flooring Inc. and Zhejiang Longsen Lumbering Co., Ltd. as companies subject to examination.

Under the agency’s process, respondent selection may be limited to a subset of firms, determined either from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) import data or from quantity‑and‑value questionnaires issued to exporters. The CBP data or questionnaire responses will be placed on the record within 5 days of the notice’s publication, and the Commerce Department aims to select respondents within 35 days. Interested parties will have seven days to comment once the data are posted, followed by a five‑day window for rebuttal submissions.

The Department also noted that reviews may be rescinded where there are no suspended entries for a company or where entries were not made under the firm’s specific case number. Producers or exporters listed in the initiation notice may notify Commerce within 30 days if they had no exports, sales, or entries during the period of review. In addition, parties that requested a review may withdraw their request within 90 days of publication.
