Commerce Issues Preliminary Ruling On Hardwood Plywood From China
In early August, Commerce issued its preliminary determination in the 2022 antidumping and countervailing duty administrative reviews on hardwood plywood from China. The focus of these reviews was the eligibility of certain Vietnamese companies to submit certification that their goods are not subject to the AD/CVD duties. 37 companies were denied eligibility to submit certifications as a result of the circumvention determination. In the administrative reviews, Commerce has preliminarily determined that 16 of these companies should be eligible to submit certifications. The companies that were found to remain on the "blacklist" were assigned AD margins of 89.10% and CVD margins of 100.11%.
