Plywood Subsidy Checks from Asia Get Timeline Extension
Published Date: 7/22/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. is investigating if hardwood and decorative plywood from China, Indonesia, and Vietnam get unfair government help. The first big decision on this is delayed from August 15 to October 13, 2025, giving more time to gather facts. This affects importers and sellers who might face new duties, so the money and rules could change later this year.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Preliminary Duties Decision Delayed
If you import or sell hardwood or decorative plywood from China, Indonesia, or Vietnam, the U.S. Commerce Department delayed its first countervailing duty (CVD) decision. The preliminary determination date moved from August 15, 2025 to no later than October 20, 2025, which postpones when new duties or rules could be announced.
Final Decision Timing Tied to Preliminary
Commerce will issue final countervailing duty determinations 75 days after it issues the preliminary determinations. Because the preliminary determination was postponed to no later than October 20, 2025, the final determination deadline will be 75 days after the preliminary determination date.
