President Trump directed the U.S. Department of Commerce to investigate how imports of wood products affect national security.  DHA members have been the victims of unfair trade practices engaged … particularly in Asia. We believe these trade practices are a threat to U.S. national security and the health of our economy. …DHA strongly supports trade policies to reduce imports of hardwood plywood, hardwood veneer, engineered hardwood flooring and finished hardwood products including cabinets and furniture particularly from Asia. …The U.S. is well positioned to meet domestic and international demand for hardwood products. …DHA members, particularly …wood floor manufacturers, have successfully pursued antidumping and countervailing duty trade cases against Chinese manufacturers. …DHA recommends that the U.S. ban Russian wood products and products from third countries made with Russian wood. Artificially low-priced Russian timber results in subsidized hardwood plywood, cabinetry and furniture from most of Asia and should be banned or restricted.
