Primed Moulding & Millwork

Yes. We cut knives to your drawing for casing, baseboard, crown and door jamb profiles, in lengths up to 5.4 m. Custom tooling adds to the first lead time but not to repeat orders, so profile development is worth doing once at the start of a programme.

A smooth white gesso or lacquer primer, applied so it accepts a site top-coat cleanly without further sanding in normal conditions. The timber is kiln-dried Southern Yellow Pine or New Zealand radiata pine, finger-jointed for straightness and dimensional stability.

The AD and CVD orders cover wood mouldings and millwork from China, not Vietnam, and Commerce continued them for a further five years effective 24 June 2026 — dumping margins of 44.60–230.36% and subsidy rates of 20.56–252.29%. One trap worth knowing: MDF profiles classify in heading 4411, which is not among the HTSUS numbers listed in the orders, but the orders state plainly that the HTSUS list is for convenience and the written scope description is dispositive. Classification is not a shelter. We are a manufacturer, not your customs counsel — if the volume justifies it, file a scope ruling under 19 CFR 351.225 against cases A-570-117 and C-570-118.

Ask for four things, and we will provide all four: the name and address of the MDF panel mill (not just the country), the board purchase invoices matched to your production run, a live unscripted video walk of the profiling and priming line on a date you choose, and the CARB Phase 2 / TSCA Title VI certificate for the board itself. This matters because several suppliers marketing Vietnamese moulding also operate plants in China and Malaysia, and Commerce has already ruled in an adjacent product that hardwood plywood exported from Vietnam but assembled from Chinese inputs is a product of China.

MDF for painted interior trim in dry rooms: it is cheaper per linear metre on wide flat profiles, holds crisp detail, and shows no grain or knots under gloss. Finger-joint pine wherever water is possible or the finish is anything but paint — bathrooms, laundries, door thresholds, and every stained profile. MDF swelling is permanent: a wetted baseboard does not dry back to size, it stays swollen and the paint film fails above it. Pine also holds a fastener better and weighs less per metre. If your programme needs both, run them from one supplier and one loading plan.

One 40ft container, which is about 12 bundles. You can mix profiles freely within the load — they all come off the same moulding line.

We quote by volume and weight rather than by piece, because the number of pieces per bundle changes with every profile. Two ceilings apply — about 44 m³ of bundle volume and roughly 26 tonnes of payload — and which one binds first depends on the material. Primed pine is light enough that you fill the box before you reach the weight limit. MDF is a different calculation: at 680–800 kg/m³ it is close to twice the density of pine, so an MDF order reaches the weight ceiling well before the container is full, and quoting it on volume alone will overload the container. Send your profile list and the material, and we will work out the exact load for your order.

Kiln-dried Southern Yellow Pine from the United States or radiata pine from New Zealand, bought through established importers. We pass on the supplier documentation for the batch that goes into your order.

Send a drawing or a physical offcut. We cut knives to it and run a sample for your approval before the order starts. Tooling is a one-off at the beginning of a programme, not a charge on every repeat order.

Yes — cartons, pallets, labels, barcodes and pack counts to your specification, including your own brand on the pack. Tell us the retail spec at quotation stage so the packing line is set up once.

Production photos during the run, loading photos before the doors close, and the seal number. If you would rather have an independent check, our inspection service can attend the loading.
