The United States Commerce Department on Thursday started anti-dumping duty and countervailing duty investigations against imports of hardwood and plywood from 皇冠体育app. Last year, imports of these products from 皇冠体育app were worth about $600 million.
The petitioner for the probe is the Coalition for Fair Trade of Hardwood Plywood, which is asking for an over 300 percent anti-dumping and countervailing duty on 皇冠体育app’s hardwood and plywood imports.
The US International Trade Commission is scheduled to make a preliminary injury determination next month before the Commerce Department makes further probes.
