Last updated: July 2026 dataTropical-face plywood — panels where at least one outer ply is a tropical or non-coniferous species such as meranti, okoumé, or lauan — has been a focal point of US trade-remedy activity, with antidumping and countervailing duty orders covering certain hardwood plywood from China. Each ply in this heading must not exceed 6 mm in thickness, a specification that distinguishes it from thicker laminated structural panels. Sourcing decisions are heavily influenced by species-level documentation requirements under the Lacey Act, which mandates plant species and country-of-harvest declarations for all imported wood products.

Importers must file a Plant and Plant Product Declaration (PPQ Form 505) identifying the genus and species of each wood component, the country of harvest, and the quantity. Incomplete or inaccurate declarations can result in seizure, civil penalties, or criminal prosecution, so species verification from the foreign mill is essential before shipment.
Yes. The US has maintained antidumping and countervailing duty orders on hardwood plywood from China, which can cover panels with tropical or non-coniferous face veneers. Importers should confirm the scope of current orders with CBP or a licensed customs broker, as scope rulings on species and construction details have been actively litigated.
