Vietnam Plywood Hit With Countervailing Duties
Published Date: 7/21/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. government found that Vietnam’s hardwood and decorative plywood makers are getting unfair financial help from their government. Starting July 21, 2026, extra taxes (called countervailing duties) will be added to these products to keep things fair for U.S. businesses. This means importers will pay more, helping protect American companies from cheap, subsidized plywood flooding the market.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
High duties on Vietnamese plywood
Commerce found countervailable subsidies for hardwood and decorative plywood from Vietnam for the period January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 and set estimated ad valorem countervailing duty rates. Junma Phu Tho Co., Ltd was assigned a 165.39% rate, Trieu Thai Son Co., Ltd (and Nhat Duy) was assigned 47.68%, and the All-Others rate is 47.68%. These rates are part of the final determination applicable July 21, 2026.
Retroactive suspension and cash deposits
Following the preliminary determination published January 22, 2026, Commerce instructed CBP to collect cash deposits and suspend liquidation for entries entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after January 22, 2026, later discontinuing suspension for entries on or after May 22, 2026 while continuing suspension for entries on or before May 21, 2026. Because Commerce found critical circumstances for Junma, suspension of liquidation will apply to Junma entries entered or withdrawn on or after the date 90 days before the January 22, 2026 publication (i.e., on or after October 24, 2025).
All-others rate and ITC outcome rule
Commerce assigned the Trieu Thai rate (47.68%) as the All-Others countervailable subsidy rate for producers/exporters not individually investigated. Commerce will notify the U.S. International Trade Commission, which has 45 days to determine whether U.S. industry is materially injured; if the ITC issues a final affirmative injury determination, Commerce will issue a countervailing duty (CVD) order and require cash deposits at the indicated rates; if the ITC determines no material injury, the proceeding will be terminated and any deposits will be refunded.
