EU Imposes Definitive Antidumping Duty on Birch Plywood From Russia
The European Union imposed a definitive antidumping duty on imports of birch plywood from Russia, the European Commission said Nov. 9. The commission kicked off the investigation in October 2020 following a complaint from the Woodstock Consortium, which led to provisional measures taking effect in June 2021. The Nov. 9 update locks in those provisional measures. The duties cover "imports of plywood consisting solely of sheets of wood, each ply not exceeding 6 mm thickness, with outer plies of wood specified under subheading 4412 33, with at least one outer ply of birch wood, whether or not coated," from Russia.
