Final Decision on Chinese Plywood Duties Delayed to July 2026

Published Date: 3/12/2026

Notice

Summary

The U.S. is taking more time to decide if hardwood and decorative plywood from China is being sold unfairly cheap. The final decision is now due by July 15, 2026, instead of May 11, and temporary rules to protect U.S. businesses will last up to six months instead of four. This means importers and U.S. manufacturers should stay tuned for updates that could affect prices and trade.

Final Decision Delayed to July 15

The Department of Commerce postponed the final determination in the less‑than‑fair‑value investigation of hardwood and decorative plywood from China to no later than July 15, 2026 (the prior deadline was May 11, 2026). This delay follows the March 2, 2026 Preliminary Determination and extends the time before a final trade ruling is issued.

Provisional Measures Extended to Six Months

Commerce extended the provisional measures in the plywood LTFV investigation from a four‑month period to a period of not more than six months. The extension was requested by mandatory respondents and follows publication of the affirmative Preliminary Determination on March 2, 2026.
