DHA Insights: June 18, 2026
We appear to be seeing the impacts of the preliminary antidumping and countervailing duties on imports of hardwood plywood from China, Indonesia and Vietnam. After spikes in recent years, there are significant declines in imports from these countries. However, we may also be starting to see the signs of transshipment through other Asian countries, including Malaysia, Cambodia, and Thailand.
Last week I spoke about DHA activities, including advocacy, marketing, and our standards, at the Canadian Hardwood Plywood and Veneer Association (CHPVA). Many members of CHPVA and DHA spoke about the importance of partnerships and being engaged in the industry associations. Please contact me to talk about the benefits of membership in DHA.
One of the many benefits of membership in DHA is our popular Where to Buy membership directory, which receives thousands of views from buyers and specifiers every year. This year, we completely revamped the Where to Buy, converting it to a modern searchable online database to showcase the breadth of American-made decorative hardwoods and direct more potential buyers right to our members' businesses.
If you have questions or comments, contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.
