On May 22, 2025, The Coalition for Fair Trade in Hardwood Plywood filed a petition for the imposition of antidumping duties on the imports of hardwood and decorative plywood from Indonesia, the People’s Republic of China, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The petition alleges dumping margins of 202.8% from Indonesia, 474.2% from China, and 112.33% to 133.72% from Vietnam.
The merchandise subject to this investigation is hardwood and decorative plywood, and certain veneered panels as described below. For purposes of this proceeding, hardwood and decorative plywood is defined as a generally flat, multilayered plywood or other veneered panel, consisting of two or more layers or plies of wood veneers in combination with a core or without a core. The veneers, along with the core, may be glued or otherwise bonded together. A hardwood and decorative plywood panel must have at least either the face or back veneer composed of one or more species of hardwood, softwood, or bamboo. Hardwood and decorative plywood may include products that meet the American National Standard for Hardwood and Decorative Plywood, ANSI/HPVA HP-1-2024 (including any revisions to that standard). Please see the petition for a more detailed description of the covered merchandise and exclusions.
