Tribunal Makes Finding—Decorative and Other Non-structural Plywood from China

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal today found that the dumping and subsidizing of decorative and other non-structural plywood, whether or not surface coated or covered, and veneer core platforms for the production of decorative and other non-structural plywood, originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China, have not caused injury and are not threatening to cause injury to the domestic industry. Anti-dumping and countervailing duties will therefore not be collected by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The complainants in this case were Columbia Forest Products of Hearst, Ontario, Husky Plywood of Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec, Rockshield Engineered Wood Products, ULC of Cochrane, Ontario, and the Canadian Hardwood Plywood and Veneer Association of Saint-Sauveur, Quebec.
