Plywood Probes from China Delayed: Importers Wait Longer
Published Date: 11/18/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce is delaying its first decision on whether hardwood and decorative plywood from China, Indonesia, and Vietnam are being sold unfairly cheap. This means companies involved get more time before any extra taxes or rules kick in, pushing the deadline from late October to as late as mid-December 2025. If you’re in the plywood business or trade, keep an eye out—this delay could affect prices and import rules soon!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Preliminary Determinations Pushed to Dec 18, 2025
Commerce is postponing the preliminary less‑than‑fair‑value determinations for hardwood and decorative plywood from the People’s Republic of China, Indonesia, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam by 50 days, moving the deadline from October 29, 2025 to no later than December 18, 2025. The postponement followed a timely request from the petitioner and was granted to allow parties and Commerce additional time to analyze questionnaire responses and issue supplemental questionnaires.
Final Determinations Still 75 Days After Preliminary
Commerce stated that the deadline for the final determinations will remain 75 days after the date of the preliminary determinations. Because the preliminary determinations are now due no later than December 18, 2025, the final determinations deadline will continue to be 75 days after that date unless Commerce postpones it again.
