SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On January 4, 2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register the
AD and countervailing duty (CVD) orders on hardwood plywood from
China.\1\ On January 2 and June 30, 2025, Commerce published in the
Federal Register notices of opportunity to request an administrative
review of the Orders covering entries of hardwood plywood from China
from the periods June 17, 2020, through September, 25, 2021, and
January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024.\2\ On February 21 and
August 22, 2025, based on timely requests for administrative reviews,
Commerce initiated the AD administrative review with respect to 75
companies and the CVD administrative review with respect to one
company.\3\

Initiation); see also Initiation of Antidumping and Countervailing
Duty Administrative Reviews, 90 FR 41043 (August 22, 2025) (2020-
2021 Initiation). We initiated the AD review of 74 companies in the
2024 Initiation and the AD and CVD reviews of one company in the
2020-2021 Initiation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On February 28 and September 2, 2025, Commerce released entry data
from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to interested parties for
comment in the AD and CVD proceedings.\4\ In our Data Release and
Intent to Rescind Memorandum, we notified parties of our intent to
rescind the AD administrative review with respect to all of the
companies that had no suspended entries during the period.\5\ We
received no comments on our intent to rescind the review with respect
to these companies. On September 9, 2025, we received comments from a
U.S. importer on our Second Data Release Memorandum.\6\ No other
interested party commented on the CBP data.

\6\ See Taraca Pacific Inc.'s Letter, ``Comments on CBP Data,''
dated September 9, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On September 12 and 17, 2025, we received a timely separate rate
application (SRA) and no-shipment certification from Hai Hien Bamboo
Wood Joint Stock Company (Hai Hien), the sole company for which we did
not state our intent to rescind the reviews.\7\

Application,'' dated September 12, 2025; see also Hai Hien's Letter,
``Hai Hien No Sales Certification,'' dated September 17, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On September 5, 2025, Commerce extended the deadline of the
preliminary results of these administrative reviews by 119 days.\8\ Due
to the lapse in appropriations and Federal Government shutdown, on
November 14, 2025, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative
proceedings by 47 days.\9\ Additionally, due to a backlog of documents
that were electronically filed via Enforcement and Compliance's
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service
System during the Federal Government shutdown, on November 24, 2025,
Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative proceedings by an
additional 21 days.\10\ The deadline for the preliminary results of
these AD and CVD reviews is now April 8, 2026.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Results of Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Administrative
Reviews,'' dated September 5, 2025.

November 24, 2025.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these Orders is hardwood and decorative
[[Page 22127]]
plywood, and certain veneered panels as described below. For purposes
of these proceedings, hardwood and decorative plywood is defined as a
generally flat, multilayered plywood or other veneered panel,
consisting of two or more layers or plies of wood veneers and a core,
with the face and/or back veneer made of non-coniferous wood (hardwood)
or bamboo. The veneers, along with the core may be glued or otherwise
bonded together. Hardwood and decorative plywood may include products
that meet the American National Standard for Hardwood and Decorative
Plywood, ANSI/HPVA HP-1-2016 (including any revisions to that
standard).
For purposes of these Orders a ``veneer'' is a slice of wood
regardless of thickness which is cut, sliced or sawed from a log, bolt,
or flitch. The face and back veneers are the outer most veneer of wood
on either side of the core irrespective of additional surface coatings
or covers as described below.
The core of hardwood and decorative plywood consists of the layer
or layers of one or more material(s) that are situated between the face
and back veneers. The core may be composed of a range of materials,
including but not limited to hardwood, softwood, particleboard, or
medium-density fiberboard (MDF).
All hardwood plywood is included within the scope of these Orders
regardless of whether or not the face and/or back veneers are surface
coated or covered and whether or not such surface coating(s) or covers
obscures the grain, textures, or markings of the wood. Examples of
surface coatings and covers include, but are not limited to: ultra
violet light cured polyurethanes; oil or oil-modified or water based
polyurethanes; wax; epoxy-ester finishes; moisture-cured urethanes;
paints; stains; paper; aluminum; high pressure laminate; MDF; medium
density overlay (MDO); and phenolic film. Additionally, the face veneer
of hardwood plywood may be sanded; smoothed or given a ``distressed''
appearance through such methods as hand-scraping or wire brushing. All
hardwood plywood is included within the scope even if it is trimmed;
cut-to-size; notched; punched; drilled; or has underwent other forms of
minor processing.
All hardwood and decorative plywood are included within the scope
of these Orders, without regard to dimension (overall thickness,
thickness of face veneer, thickness of back veneer, thickness of core,
thickness of inner veneers, width, or length). However, the most common
panel seizes of hardwood and decorative plywood are 1219 x 1829 mm (48
x 72 inches), 1219 x 2438 mm (48 x 96 inches), and 1219 x 3048 mm (48 x
120 inches).
Subject merchandise also includes hardwood and decorative plywood
that has been further processed in a third country, including but not
limited to trimming, cutting, notching, punching, drilling, or any
other processing that would not otherwise remove the merchandise from
the scope of the Orders if performed in the country of manufacture of
the in-scope product.
The scope of the Orders excludes the following items: (1)
structural plywood (also known as ``industrial plywood'' or
``industrial panels'') that is manufactured to meet U.S. Products
Standard PS 1-09, PS 2-09, or PS 2-10 for Structural Plywood (including
any revisions to that standard or any substantially equivalent
international standard intended for structural plywood), and which has
both a face and a back veneer of coniferous wood; (2) products which
have a face and back veneer of cork; (3) multilayered wood flooring, as
described in the antidumping duty and countervailing duty orders on
Multilayered Wood Flooring from the People's Republic of China, Import
Administration, International Trade Administration. See Multilayered
Wood Flooring from the People's Republic of China, 76 FR 76690
(December 8, 2011) (amended final determination of sales at less than
fair value and antidumping duty order), and Multilayered Wood Flooring
from the People's Republic of China, 76 FR 76693 (December 8, 2011)
(countervailing duty order), as amended by Multilayered Wood Flooring
from the People's Republic of China: Amended Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Orders, 77 FR 5484 (February 3, 2012); (4)
multilayered wood flooring with a face veneer of bamboo or composed
entirely of bamboo; (5) plywood which has a shape or design other than
a flat panel, with the exception of any minor processing described
above; (6) products made entirely from bamboo and adhesives (also known
as ``solid bamboo''); and (7) Phenolic Film Faced Plyform (PFF), also
known as Phenolic Surface Film Plywood (PSF), defined as a panel with
an ``Exterior'' or ``Exposure 1'' bond classification as is defined by
The Engineered Wood Association, having an opaque phenolic film layer
with a weight equal to or greater than 90g/m3 permanently bonded on
both the face and back veneers and an opaque, moisture resistant
coating applied to the edges.
On July 14, 2023, Commerce determined that imports of hardwood
plywood completed in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam) using
hardwood plywood inputs (face veneer, back veneer, and/or either an
assembled core or individual core veneers) manufactured in China, or
Chinese hardwood plywood inputs (assembled cores, multi-ply core
panels, or individual core veneers) combined in Vietnam with other
inputs (face and/or back veneers) manufactured in Vietnam or third
countries, and subsequently exported to the United States, are subject
to these Orders. Specifically, these Orders cover hardwood plywood that
is exported to the United States that is produced under the following
scenarios:

Rescission of AD Administrative Review, in Part
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), when there are no reviewable
entries of subject merchandise during the POR subject to the AD or CVD
order for which liquidation is suspended, Commerce may rescind an
administrative review, in whole or only with respect to a particular
exporter or producer.\11\ At the end of the administrative review, any
suspended entries are liquidated at the assessment rate computed for
the review period.\12\ Therefore, for an administrative review to be
conducted, there must be a reviewable, suspended entry to be liquidated
at the newly calculated assessment rate. On February 28, 2025, Commerce
notified all interested parties of its intent to rescind the AD review
with respect to companies under review that had no reviewable,
suspended entries of subject merchandise during the period and invited
parties to comment.\13\ We received no comments on our intent to
rescind the review with respect to these companies. Accordingly, in the
absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR for
these companies for which this review was initiated, we are hereby
rescinding the AD administrative review, in part, with respect to these
companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3). See the appendix
for a list of all companies for which Commerce is rescinding the AD
review.

Preliminary Determinations of No Shipments
The remaining company under review, Hai Hien, is currently eligible
to certify that its shipments of hardwood plywood from Vietnam were not
produced using Chinese core inputs,\14\
[[Page 22129]]
but it was unable to certify its shipments at the time of entry.\15\ On
February 26, 2026, we afforded Hai Hien the opportunity to provide the
certifications that would have accompanied its entries had the company
been permitted to submit the certifications at the time of entry.\16\
Hai Hien submitted these certifications, covering all of its suspended
entries of plywood, on March 9, 2026.\17\ Based on our review of these
certifications, we preliminarily find that Hai Hien had no shipments of
plywood subject to the China Orders during the POR.

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results of these reviews, for all
entries of merchandise exported by Hai Hien, we intend to instruct CBP
to liquidate the entries without regard to AD/CVD duties if these
preliminary results are unchanged for the final results.
For the companies for which the AD administrative review is
rescinded with these preliminary results (see the appendix), we will
instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries at
a rate equal to the cash deposit of estimated antidumping duties
required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for
consumption, during the period June 17, 2020, through September, 25,
2021, and January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2024, in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(l)(i). Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP for such companies no earlier than 35 days after
the date of publication of the preliminary results of these reviews in
the Federal Register.
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier
than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this
review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the
U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will
direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties
to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within
90 days of publication).
Cash Deposit Requirements--AD
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of the AD administrative review for
shipments of subject merchandise, entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results
of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act): (1) for previously
investigated or reviewed exporters that have separate rates, the cash
deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published
for the most recently-completed segment of this proceeding in which
Commerce assigned a rate to that company; (2) for all Chinese exporters
of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a
separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate for the China-
wide entity (i.e., 114.72 percent); and (3) for all non-Chinese
exporters of subject merchandise that have not received their own rate,
the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the exporter that
supplied that non-Chinese exporter, where available, or the rate for
the China-wide entity (i.e., 114.72), if no alternate rate is
available. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain
in effect until further notice.
Cash Deposit Requirements--CVD
For Hai Hien, the only company under review in the CVD review, we
will instruct CBP to continue to collect cash deposits of estimated
countervailing duties at the most recent company-specific or all-others
rate applicable to the company. These cash deposit instructions, when
imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.
Final Results of Review
Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final
results of these administrative reviews, which will include the results
of its analysis of issues raised in any briefs, within 120 days of
publication of these preliminary results of review, pursuant to section
751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties
prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure
[[Page 22130]]
to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties occurred
and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties
These preliminary results of administrative review are issued and
published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(l) of the
Act, and 19 CFR 351.221(b)(4).
Dated: April 8, 2026.
