DHA Insights: May 1, 2025

Decorative Hardwoods Association

Trade policy continues to be uncertain and changing rapidly in both the U.S. and Canada. Canada recently issued a surtax remission for decorative hardwoods imported from the U.S. Trade representatives from Taiwan and Japan, among others, have visited the U.S. to discuss tariff deals, while others, including Vietnam, have had phone conversations. DHA is closely monitoring the outcomes of the discussions and their impacts on our industry. We'll talk more about the details at our upcoming annual meeting in San Antonio from May 13 - May 15. All DHA members are encouraged to attend.

Picking up on DHA efforts to push back on misleading marketing of fake wood products, the Missouri General Assembly has introduced legislation to counter the misleading marketing as "wood" for products like vinyl and laminate that only look like wood. Missouri Forest Products Association Executive Director Brian Brookshire will talk about the legislation at our annual meeting.

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