ITC Makes Affirmative Final Determination in Critical Trade Case on Fiberglass Door Panels from China, Wiley Reports
Commerce will issue duty orders after finding Chinese imports were dumped and subsidized, with margins ranging from 41.82% to 147.85%, officials said.
On Thursday, the U.S. International Trade Commission issued a unanimous final determination finding Chinese fiberglass door imports materially injured American producers, enabling the Commerce Department to impose antidumping and countervailing duty orders.
The Commerce Department previously published affirmative findings on June 8, 2026, establishing dumping margins up to 147.85% and subsidy rates up to 186.46% for Chinese manufacturers.
These AD/CVD orders remain in effect for a minimum of five years, with annual reviews possible through the Commerce Department to ensure duty rates reflect current unfair trade levels, following a March 2025 petition by the American Fiberglass Door Coalition.
"This is a critical victory for American fiberglass door panel producers," said Timothy C. Brightbill, co-lead counsel to the American Fiberglass Door Coalition, while partner Robert E. DeFrancesco commended the ITC's work.
Companies failing to cooperate, including Lily Industries and Kits Glass, face maximum subsidy rates of 186.46%, as federal authorities maintain that duty evasion, absorption, and circumvention remain strictly illegal.
