According to the China Trade Remedy Information Network,
\ on August 19, 2026, the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) voted to make a final anti-dumping and countervailing duty injury determination on hardwood and decorative plywood imported from China, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
The Commission determined that, with the exception of softwood structural plywood (Softwood Structural Plywood Downfall and Stamped and Certified Softwood Structural Plywood), imports of hardwood and decorative plywood from the three countries have caused material injury to the U.S. domestic industry. Consequently, the U.S. Department of Commerce will issue anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders on those products. Simultaneously, the Commission ruled that imports of softwood structural plywood were negligible and terminated the investigation on that category.
