INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-764-766 and 731-TA-1747-1749 (Final)]
Hardwood and Decorative Plywood From China, Indonesia, and
Vietnam; Determinations
On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by
reason of imports of hardwood and decorative plywood (excluding all
softwood structural plywood) from China, Indonesia, and Vietnam,
provided for in subheadings 4412.10.05, 4412.31.06, 4412.31.26,
4412.31.42, 4412.31.45, 4412.31.48, 4412.31.52, 4412.31.61, 4412.31.92,
4412.33.06, 4412.33.26, 4412.33.32, 4412.33.57, 4412.34.26, 4412.34.32,
4412.34.57, 4412.39.40, 4412.39.50, 4412.41.00, 4412.42.00, 4412.51.10,
4412.51.31, 4412.51.41, 4412.51.51, 4412.52.10, 4412.52.31, 4412.52.41,
4412.91.06, 4412.91.10, 4412.91.31, 4412.91.41, 4412.92.07, 4412.92.11,
4412.92.31, and 4412.92.42 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States, that have been found by the U.S. Department of Commerce
(``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States at less than fair value
(``LTFV''), and imports of the subject merchandise from China,
Indonesia, and Vietnam that have been found to be subsidized by the
governments of China, Indonesia, and Vietnam.<SUP>2 3 4 5</SUP>

\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
\2\ 91 FR 45766, 91 FR 45788, 91 FR 45770, 91 FR 45778, 91 FR
45774, and 91 FR 45782, July 21, 2026.
\3\ Commissioners Bartholomew Thanhauser and David Foley Jr. did
not participate.
\4\ The Commission terminates its investigations concerning
softwood structural plywood downfall and stamped and certified
softwood structural plywood from China, Indonesia, and Vietnam on
the grounds of negligibility.
\5\ The Commission also finds that imports subject to Commerce's
affirmative critical circumstances determinations are not likely to
undermine seriously the remedial effect of the countervailing orders
on hardwood and decorative plywood (excluding all softwood
structural plywood) from China and Vietnam and the antidumping duty
order on hardwood and decorative plywood (excluding all softwood
structural plywood) from China.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
The Commission instituted these investigations effective May 22,
2025, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and
Commerce by the Coalition for Fair Trade in Hardwood Plywood, the
members of which are Columbia Forest Products, Greensboro, North
Carolina; Commonwealth Plywood Co., Ltd., Whitehall, New York; Manthei
Wood Products, Petoskey, Michigan; States Industries LLC, Eugene,
Oregon; and Timber Products Company, Springfield, Oregon. The final
phase of the investigations was scheduled by the Commission following
notification of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of
hardwood and decorative plywood from China, Indonesia, and Vietnam were
subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1671b(b)) and sold at LTFV within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19
U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the
Commission's investigations and of a public hearing to be held in
connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the
Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission,
Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register on
March 26, 2026 (91 FR 14709). The Commission conducted its hearing on
July 16, 2026. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted
to participate.
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C.
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these
investigations on September 4, 2026. The views of the Commission are
contained in USITC Publication 5784 (September 2026), entitled Hardwood
and Decorative Plywood from China, Indonesia, and Vietnam:
Investigation Nos. 701-TA-764-766 and 731-TA-1747-1749 (Final).
