On 11 October 2024, the EU opened an anti-dumping investigation concerning EU imports of hardwood plywood, originating in the People’s Republic of China, which could lead to substantial anti-dumping duties on future imports.
The product under investigation for alleged dumping is plywood consisting solely of sheets of wood other than bamboo and okoumé, each ply not exceeding 6 mm thickness, with at least one outer ply of tropical wood or non-coniferous wood, whether or not coated or surface-covered. The relevant species are specified under the HS Code subheadings 4412 31, 4412 33 and 4412 34.
The product under investigation is currently classified under the HS codes ex 4412 31, ex 4412 33 and ex 4412 34 (CN and TARIC codes 4412 31 10 80, 4412 31 90 00, 4412 33 10 12, 4412 33 10 22, 4412 33 10 82, 4412 33 20 10, 4412 33 30 10, 4412 33 90 10, and 4412 34 00 10).
Affected parties, including importers and EU users wishing to comment and defend their interests, can participate in the investigation. Deadlines for participation can be as short as 7 days, so quick action is required if parties intend to participate.
