Canada's Plywood Manufacturers Push For Duties On Cheap Chinese Imports

Canada's hardwood plywood and veneer industry is shrinking. This is not due to a lack of demand for kitchen cabinets, decorative wood panels, and furniture. Instead, Canadian manufacturers are losing market share to plywood products imported from China at artificially low prices that Canadian manufacturers cannot match. The Canadian government still has not imposed antidumping duties on Chinese exporters as requested by the Canadian Hardwood Plywood and Veneer Association.
