As expected, Chinese plywood producers, exporters, and domestic importers have filed appeals at the U.S. Court of International Trade. The appeals challenge both the International Trade Commission's decision finding injury to U.S. producers from these imports and the Commerce Department's final rate determinations. The schedule for filing briefs and oral argument will be announced next. The antidumping and countervailing duties on Chinese hardwood plywood remain in effect.
