U.S. imports of hardwood plywood rose by 60% in volume in May from the January to April average, but remain down 60% in volume and 67% in value year-to-date through May, after growing by 12% in value last year to $2.1 billion. Among large sources, imports from Vietnam fell the most, down by 79% vs. the same period last year. However, monthly imports from Vietnam and Indonesia grew in April and May, indicating that the downward trend may be reversing.
