Indonesia's Plywood Prices Probed, Final Call Delayed

Published Date: 3/2/2026

Notice

Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce says Indonesian hardwood and decorative plywood might be sold in the U.S. for less than fair value, which could hurt American businesses. They’re taking more time to finish their final decision and are extending temporary rules to keep things fair. This means importers and sellers should watch for updates starting March 2, 2026, as money and trade rules could change soon.

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 1 costs, 1 mixed.

Immediate cash deposits for imports

Starting March 2, 2026, U.S. Customs and Border Protection will suspend liquidation of Indonesian hardwood and decorative plywood imports and require cash deposits. Company-specific cash deposit rates set in the preliminary determination include: PT Wijaya Cahaya Timber TBK / PT Wijaya Triutama Plywood Industri — 46.84%; PT Sengon Indah Mas / PT Java Wood Industri — 19.88%; PT. Mustika Buana Sejahtera — 84.94%; All others — 38.27%. The period of investigation covers April 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025.

Final determination postponed; provisional extended

Commerce is postponing the final antidumping determination at the exporters' request and extending provisional measures from a four-month period to a period not greater than six months. WCT/WTU and SIM/JWI requested the postponement on January 23, 2026 and February 20, 2026 respectively, and Commerce will make its final determination no later than 135 days after publication of the preliminary determination. The notice also says that if provisional countervailing duty measures expire before these provisional antidumping measures, CBP will collect antidumping duty cash deposits unadjusted for export subsidy offsets.
