Thirty-five HTS subheadings under heading 4412 are now subject to final phase antidumping and countervailing duty investigations targeting hardwood and decorative plywood imports from China, Indonesia, and Vietnam. The U.S. International Trade Commission formally scheduled these investigations—numbered 701-TA-764-766 (CVD) and 731-TA-1747-1749 (AD)—as of March 2, 2026, following Commerce Department preliminary determinations that the merchandise is both subsidized and sold at less-than-fair-value.
Complete HTS Code Coverage
Trade compliance teams must flag the following 35 subheadings for duty exposure screening: 4412.10.05, 4412.31.06, 4412.31.26, 4412.31.42, 4412.31.45, 4412.31.48, 4412.31.52, 4412.31.61, 4412.31.92, 4412.33.06, 4412.33.26, 4412.33.32, 4412.33.57, 4412.34.26, 4412.34.32, 4412.34.57, 4412.39.40, 4412.39.50, 4412.41.00, 4412.42.00, 4412.51.10, 4412.51.31, 4412.51.41, 4412.51.51, 4412.52.10, 4412.52.31, 4412.52.41, 4412.91.06, 4412.91.10, 4412.91.31, 4412.91.41, 4412.92.07, 4412.92.11, 4412.92.31, and 4412.92.42.
Product Scope Definition
Commerce defined the subject merchandise as multilayered plywood or veneered panels with two or more wood veneer plies, with or without a core. The critical classification trigger: at least the face or back veneer must be composed of hardwood, softwood, or bamboo. Core materials can include particleboard, medium density fiberboard (MDF), or any wood species.
The scope explicitly references ANSI/HPVA HP-1-2024, the American National Standard for Hardwood and Decorative Plywood, meaning products meeting this specification—including future revisions—fall within investigation coverage. Common panel dimensions cited are 1219 x 1829 mm (48 x 72 inches), 1219 x 2438 mm (48 x 96 inches), and 1219 x 3048 mm (48 x 120 inches), though all dimensions are covered.
Implications for HTS Data Systems
Engineering teams maintaining duty calculation engines should update rate caching logic to associate these 35 subheadings with pending AD/CVD orders for CN, ID, and VN country codes. Final duty rates will be established following ITC injury determinations, but preliminary margins from Commerce are already in effect for cash deposit purposes. Any classification system serving importers of wood panels must surface these investigation numbers—701-TA-764-766 and 731-TA-1747-1749—when users query covered HTS codes with subject country origins.
