Kitchen cabinets enter under HTS 9403.40.90.60; vanities and loose parts (doors, drawers, frames, boxes) enter under two sister lines at the same rate. This page prices all three, lists the AD/CVD deposit for each company named in the latest reviews, and shows how to check the TSCA Title VI label before you pay the balance.

Duty by HTS line

Section 232 wood covers all three lines, so the forced-labor 301 is not charged. The last column is for other goods that classify in these lines but are not wooden kitchen cabinets, vanities or their parts.

  • Other goods in these lines: U.S. note 37(g) to chapter 99 sends goods in these three lines that are not completed wooden kitchen cabinets, vanities or their parts to 9903.76.04, with no 232 duty, so the forced-labor 301 applies instead. A wooden bookcase or console entered under 9403.60.80.93 is the usual case.
  • 2026 forced-labor Section 301: Not charged on goods that pay Section 232 (wood).

A quartz vanity top is not covered by the cabinet orders, but it is covered by the quartz orders (A-570-084 / C-570-085) even when attached. On the value of the top it pays Section 301, the forced-labor 301, the Section 201 safeguard and the quartz AD/CVD. The worked example prices one vanity with its top.

A metal, plastic or stone cabinet is not in these lines at all. It classifies under 9403.10 or 9403.20 (metal furniture), 9403.70 (furniture of plastics) or 9403.89.60 (furniture of other materials), each with its own stack, and Section 232 metals can reach metal furniture. We have not priced those lines here. Confirm the classification and stack with your broker before you price a non-wood cabinet.

A company rate applies only when the exporter on your commercial invoice is that company, under the name printed in the notice. Shaded rows are what every other Chinese exporter pays. AD and CVD add together.

Which CVD rate goes with the AD separate rate

The AD separate rate (10.02%, 91 FR 21788) and the CVD rate come from different reviews. A separate-rate exporter that was in the 2023 CVD review pays 9.51% CVD, 19.53% in total. One that was not pays the all-others 18.17%, 28.19% in total, unless it holds a CVD rate of its own from an earlier segment. The company list below shows which is which.

If the AD finals keep KM Cabinetry, Suzhou Siemo, Ancientree, Oppein Home Group, Shouguang Fushi Wood and Taishan Oversea Trading in the China-wide entity, CBP assesses 251.64% on their review-period entries and their deposits move to the China-wide rate.

Not this order

  • A-570-890 Wooden bedroom furniture (China-wide 216.01%, 91 FR 52041). Beds, dressers, nightstands and wardrobes. Related searches and at least one tariff tracker mix it up with cabinets. The cabinet scope excludes products covered by this order, so the two never stack, and its rate and sunset dates say nothing about cabinets.

What each column assumes
  • Exporter without its own rate: China-wide AD plus all-others CVD: the rate for any exporter not named in a review.
  • AD separate rate, CVD all-others: AD at the separate rate from the latest final review; CVD at all-others, which is what a separate-rate exporter pays if it was not in the latest CVD review. One that was pays the lower review-average CVD instead; the company list above shows which.
  • Same exporter, entered from 2027-01-01: Section 232 wood doubles on 2027-01-01. AD/CVD is shown at today’s deposit; the pending review can change it before then.
  • KM Cabinetry at preliminary rates, from 2027-01-01 (not in force): Preliminary, not in force. AD and CVD at KM Cabinetry’s rates in the pending review’s preliminary results, on the Section 232 rate from 2027-01-01. KM deposits its current company rates until the finals publish; this column is what a PO placed now pays if they hold. Other exporters moved to the China-wide entity in the preliminary results face the same AD rate.
  • Vanity with quartz top (example split: 70% cabinet, 30% top): The cabinet part is priced as the separate-rate column. The top is priced under the quartz heading with Section 301, the forced-labor 301, the Section 201 safeguard at the in-quota rate, and the quartz AD/CVD at the China-wide rate, because a cabinet exporter rarely holds a quartz rate of its own. The split is an example: use the values on your invoice. Section 201 is priced in quota at 25%. Once the quarterly quota fills it is 50%; check fill in the CBP quota bulletins.

The kitchen cabinet columns price a cabinet with no top. In the vanity column each part is priced on its own share of the value, and the percent under each amount is the rate on that part. If your broker enters the top as part of the vanity rather than on its own line, the layers on the top change; the quartz AD/CVD and the Section 201 safeguard still apply to it. Freight, brokerage and inland costs are in the full calculator.

When AD/CVD reaches the order

The scope text decides, not the HTS code or the factory's product name. Each row cites the notice that decides it.

Which certificate answers which question

The formaldehyde rules apply to the composite panels inside the cabinet, so the proof starts at the panel mill and ends on your entry.

  • A label that says only "CARB P2" does not meet the federal rule. It has to say TSCA Title VI compliant.
  • A one-off lab test report is not certification. Certification means a TPC-certified mill with quarterly testing.
  • CARB lists panel mills, not cabinet factories. A cabinet factory is a fabricator: ask for the mills behind its panels and look those up.

How to check each certificate

All certificate details below checked against the issuers and directories linked.

TSCA Title VI formaldehyde (40 CFR 770)

Lookup steps Ask for: A photo of the panel or bundle label (panel producer name or number, lot, TPC number) and of the finished-goods fabricator label (name, month/year, 'TSCA Title VI compliant').

US EPA; mills certified by EPA-recognized third-party certifiers (TPCs)

Proves
The hardwood plywood, MDF or particleboard in the product came from a TPC-certified mill with quarterly testing, and the finished good is labeled TSCA Title VI compliant.
Does not prove
Anything about a 100% SPC/PVC core (it has no composite wood), or that a one-off lab test report covers production.
Required by
  • Federal: Since 2019-03-22: composite wood panels and finished goods containing them (cabinets, vanities, furniture, laminate and engineered flooring) must be TPC-certified and labeled. Importers file a TSCA positive import certification (40 CFR 770.30(d)) and keep supplier statements and producer records for 3 years.
Ask for
A photo of the panel or bundle label (panel producer name or number, lot, TPC number) and of the finished-goods fabricator label (name, month/year, 'TSCA Title VI compliant').
Look it up
EPA list of recognized accreditation bodies and TPCs (PDF) Search by: TPC number, TPC name, Products, Address. Updated 2026-09-08. There is no EPA mill-level search; use the CARB mills list or ask the TPC.
  1. Check the TPC number against EPA's list and make sure it is not on EPA's suspended or revoked list.
  2. Find the mill in CARB's monthly Certified Mills List and match board type, TPC and compliance level.
  3. If the mill is missing, email the TPC to confirm the producer number.
  4. Get a written TSCA Title VI statement on the invoice or bill of lading and keep it for 3 years.
  5. Confirm your broker files the TSCA positive import certification.
Red flags
  • No TPC number on the label, or a TPC not on EPA's list.
  • A label that says only 'CARB P2' with no 'TSCA Title VI compliant' statement.
  • A panel producer that cannot be traced to a mill.
  • A single-sample lab test report offered instead of a TPC certificate.
  • A fabricator label missing the name, production month/year or compliance statement.

CARB ATCM Phase 2 (17 CCR 93120)

Lookup steps Ask for: The mill name (English and pinyin), board type and TPC number.

California Air Resources Board; CARB-approved TPCs

Proves
The mill is certified by a CARB-approved TPC for that board type at Phase 2, ULEF or NAF level.
Does not prove
That every product from the mill is compliant (CARB says listed mills may also make non-compliant products), or TSCA Title VI compliance on its own.
Required by
  • State: California: required for composite wood products sold, supplied or used in the state.
Ask for
The mill name (English and pinyin), board type and TPC number.
Look it up
CARB Certified Mills List (monthly xlsx) Search by: Mill name, Board type (PB/MDF/tMDF/HWPW-VC/HWPW-CC), Compliance level, TPC, Country, Province, City. List of 2026-10-13: about 1,640 mills, about 639 with Country = China. The country column has errors (a Vietnamese province listed under China), so match on name, city and TPC.
  1. Open the latest Certified Mills List xlsx.
  2. Search the mill name, including pinyin and English variants.
  3. Match board type, TPC and compliance level to the label.
Red flags
  • The mill is not on the list under any name variant.
  • The TPC on the label differs from the TPC on the list.
  • The mill is certified for a different board type.
  • A trading company quoting a mill certificate without naming the mill.

What a capable factory sends you

Documents and test reports, not names or badges.

We do not rank factories. Ask each one on your shortlist for these documents. A factory already shipping cabinets to US importers has them on file.

  • The legal name of the exporter as it will print on the commercial invoice, and the AD/CVD rate it holds The deposit follows that name. Match it letter for letter to the Federal Register notice. If a trading company is the exporter, its rate applies, not the factory’s.
  • The review that set that rate, and whether the exporter is in the review now pending The pending preliminary results move some named exporters to the China-wide rate. An increase on entries already made is billed to the importer of record at liquidation.
  • Photos of the TSCA Title VI fabricator label and of the panel bundle labels (mill, lot, TPC number) You check the TPC number on the EPA list and the mill on the CARB list yourself.
  • The mill name for each board type (particleboard, MDF, plywood), in English and pinyin CARB's list is searched by mill name, and its country column has errors, so match on name, city and TPC.
  • A written TSCA Title VI compliance statement on the invoice or bill of lading It backs the TSCA import certification your broker files, and you keep it with your records.
  • For cabinets from Malaysia or Vietnam: the signed exporter certification and the production records behind it Without it, CBP takes China-wide AD and all-others CVD deposits on the entry.
  • For a duty-paid (DDP) quote: the name of the importer of record The importer of record pays any AD/CVD increase at liquidation and certifies that the exporter did not reimburse its AD/CVD. A reimbursed duty can be assessed twice.
  • Shop drawings and a sample door built to them Box material, door style and finish are where cabinet quotes drift. Sign the drawings before the deposit.

QC checkpoints

Where a cabinet order goes wrong, in the order you can catch it.

  1. 1 Before the deposit
    • Shop drawings signed for every cabinet, naming box material, door style, finish and hardware brand.
    • Exporter name and rate checked by you against the latest Federal Register notice.
    • TPC numbers and mill names looked up by you on the EPA and CARB lists, not through links the seller sent.
  2. 2 During production
    • Panel bundle labels on the line match the mills and TPC numbers you approved.
    • Box joinery, panel thickness and edge banding checked against the drawings.
    • Finish color and sheen checked against the signed sample door.
  3. 3 Pre-shipment inspection
    • TSCA Title VI fabricator label on every cabinet or carton, with the production month and year.
    • Doors and drawers opened on a sample of cartons; hinges and slides match the brand on the drawing.
    • RTA cartons hold every part on the parts list for their cabinet.
    • Carton count, shipping marks and origin marking checked against the packing list.
  4. 4 At entry and on site
    • Invoice names the exporter exactly as in the notice, and the HTS line matches what ships: cabinets, vanities or parts.
    • TSCA import certification filed by your broker.
    • Cabinets checked for transit damage before the installer signs for them.

MOQ and lead time

MOQ and lead time: no sourced data yet.MOQ moves with door styles and finishes (each finish is its own spray batch), box material the factory does not stock, custom sizes outside its standard boxes and hardware brands it does not stock; lead time with shop drawing rounds (production starts at sign-off), sample door and finish approval, panels from a certified mill the factory does not already buy from and painted or lacquered finishes.

Questions buyers ask

What is the current tariff on cabinets from China?
Wooden kitchen cabinets (HTS 9403.40.90.60), vanities and their parts pay 50% before AD/CVD: Section 301 plus Section 232 wood, with no base duty. That rises to 75% on 2027-01-01 when the 232 rate doubles. AD/CVD comes on top and depends on the exporter: 269.81% for an exporter without its own rate, far less for an exporter with a separate or company rate. The exporter table on this page lists every current deposit.
Are kitchen cabinets subject to tariffs?
Yes. Wooden kitchen cabinets and vanities from China pay Section 301 and Section 232 wood, 50% before AD/CVD, plus the AD/CVD orders A-570-106 / C-570-107. Cabinets finished in Malaysia or Vietnam from Chinese doors, drawer fronts or frames count as Chinese for AD/CVD.
How can I purchase cabinets from china?
As importer of record: sign shop drawings, confirm the exporter’s AD/CVD rate and TSCA labels, pay the deposit, inspect before the balance, and have a customs broker file the entry with the AD/CVD cash deposit and the TSCA import certification. On a duty-paid quote the seller is importer of record; ask in writing who pays if the AD/CVD rate rises at liquidation.
Are there tariffs on Chinese furniture?
Yes. Most wood furniture from China pays Section 301. Kitchen cabinets, vanities and upholstered wood-frame seating also pay Section 232 wood. Furniture in the same lines that is not a 232 good pays the forced-labor Section 301 instead. Wooden bedroom furniture has its own AD order (A-570-890), separate from the cabinet order.
