Tribunal Initiates Inquiry: Decorative and Other Non-Structural Plywood from China

On April 10, 2026, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), initiated investigations to determine whether decorative and other non-structural plywood is being sold at unfair prices in Canada (dumped), subsidized, or both.

On April 13, 2026, the Canadian International Trade Tribunal initiated a preliminary injury inquiry.

On June 9, 2026, the Tribunal will determine whether there is a reasonable indication that the alleged dumping and subsidizing have caused injury or retardation or are threatening to cause injury.

If so, the CBSA will continue its investigations and, by July 9, 2026, will make preliminary determinations. If these preliminary determinations indicate that there has been dumping or subsidizing, the CBSA will then continue its investigations and, concurrently, the Tribunal will initiate a final injury inquiry.
