After years of rising hardwood plywood imports, this year started on a good note: January 2026 imports declined vs. last January. Imports from Vietnam declined the most. We are hopeful that the recent preliminary antidumping and countervailing duties and the Trump administration trade policies are limiting these imports.

Tim Brightbill, who represents the Coalition for Fair Trade in Hardwood Plywood, will talk about these trade cases and other trade policies at our upcoming annual meeting in Asheville, NC, from May 12 to May 14. Don't miss it!

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

Keith A. Christman, President
