Hardwood Plywood Dumping Cases Delayed Due to Govt. Shutdown

Sterling, VA, November 21, 2025-The Department of Commerce has changed all deadlines in the hardwood plywood countervailing duty and antidumping cases against China, Vietnam, and Indonesia due to the government shutdown, reports the Decorative Hardwoods Association. 

The new deadline for the preliminary countervailing duty determinations is now December 5. The Coalition for Fair Trade in Hardwood Plywood recently filed critical circumstances allegations, as imports of hardwood plywood surged during the case. This could make the preliminary duties retroactive by 90 days.
