US imposes duty on China plywood goods

WASHINGTON: The United States said on Monday it would impose anti-dumping duties on imports of hardwood plywood products from China, a move decried by Beijing as based on “totally distorted” data. It was the latest move by the Commerce Department against Chinese goods it deems to have benefited from state subsidies, including fresh duties against aluminium foil unveiled last month. The US imported US$1.12 billion (RM4.69 billion) of hardwood plywood products from China last year.
