On October 1, nine presidents and CEOs representing American manufacturers of hardwood plywood, engineered wood flooring and hardwood veneer asked President Trump to add our industry’s products to the recently announced Section 232 tariffs on wood products. Over 100,000 American manufacturing jobs are threatened by the flood of dumped and subsidized decorative hardwood product imports from outside of North America.
