The US antidumping and countervailing duty order on wooden cabinets and vanities from China became effective April 21, 2020 after the International Trade Commission found Chinese cabinet makers were dumping cabinets and receiving illegal subsidies from the central and provincial governments. The order was continued April 21, 2026 after a 5-year sunset review. The all-others combined rate is 264.97 percent: 251.64 percent antidumping plus 13.33 percent countervailing. Section 301 List 3 adds 25 percent under HTS 9403.40. There is no column-one standard duty on this HTS line, so the total duty stack runs about 290 percent of FOB for most Chinese exporters. Vietnam is the dominant alternative: no AD/CVD order, FOB $35 to $70 per linear foot for stock cabinets and $52 to $80 per LF for higher-grade RTA. Mexico under USMCA qualifies for 0 percent duty on cabinets manufactured to USMCA rule-of-origin standards (substantial transformation), with FOB ranging $45 to $90 per LF. The Vietnamese and Mexican factories that supply the major US distributors typically have 8 to 12 week lead times for stock SKUs.

Methodology and data sources
Rates come from the most recent Federal Register continuation orders (2024 to 2026) for ceramic and porcelain tile, quartz surface products, and wooden cabinets and vanities from China. Section 301 List 3 follows USTR rules (plus 25 percent on most building materials). Standard duty comes from the USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule 2026 at HTS 6907.21 (tile), 6810.99 (quartz), and 9403.40 (cabinets and vanities).
Alternative-country FOB ranges are anonymised midpoints from Q1 to Q2 2026 quotes collected from Nexo verified suppliers across Vietnam, India, Mexico, Italy, Spain, and Indonesia. Mexico is computed at 0 percent duty under USMCA where the rule of origin is satisfied.
CRITICAL: Cash deposit rates are exporter-specific. The calculator uses the "all-others rate" published in each continuation order. Confirm the supplier-specific cash deposit rate at USITC, or work with a licensed customs broker, before committing capital. Estimates are NOT legal or customs advice.

Frequently asked questions
What is the current antidumping rate on wooden cabinets from China?
The all-others antidumping rate is 251.64 percent and the countervailing rate is 13.33 percent, combined 264.97 percent. Cooperative exporters got rates between 4 and 80 percent during the original investigation. The PRC-wide entity rate is the maximum 251.64 percent.
What is covered by the cabinet antidumping scope?
The scope covers wooden cabinets and vanities including unassembled (RTA) and ready-to-assemble units under HTS 9403.40, 9403.60, and 9403.90. Excludes thermofoil-only construction. Solid wood doors, drawer fronts, and face frames trigger inclusion. Particle-board and MDF cabinet boxes are explicitly covered.
Can Vietnamese cabinet factories really replace Chinese supply at the same quality?
Yes for the mid-market and lower price tiers. Most major US cabinet distributors moved production to Vietnam between 2020 and 2024 after the China duty took effect. The same engineering teams, the same dovetail joinery, the same soft-close hardware. Premium handcrafted European-style cabinets are still primarily Italy and Germany.
Does Mexico USMCA require all materials to be Mexican-origin?
No. USMCA rule of origin for furniture requires substantial transformation in Mexico, meaning the cabinet must be designed and assembled in Mexico from raw materials. Particleboard, hardware, and finishes can be sourced from third countries. The key is that the final cabinet must change HTS classification through the Mexican manufacturing step. Get a USMCA certificate of origin from your Mexican supplier.
