Congratulations to our Canadian colleagues on the Tribunal's recent determination that there is a reasonable indication of injury by imports of decorative plywood from China. This is an important step in the Canadian hardwood plywood manufacturers' antidumping and countervailing duty cases against China. Hopefully, this is a sign that Canadian manufacturers will be successful in this case.

This case is also important to the U.S. industry. Chinese dumped and subsidized plywood in Canada results in the transshipment of hardwood plywood into the U.S. and higher U.S. imports of cabinets and furniture made from dumped and subsidized plywood, damaging U.S. manufacturers of plywood, cabinets, and furniture.

If you have questions or comments, contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
