CITT initiates preliminary injury inquiry into decorative and other non-structural plywood from China

The Canadian International Trade Tribunal initiated a preliminary injury inquiry (PI-2026-001) on April 13, 2026 into a complaint by Columbia Forest Products and the Canadian Hardwood Plywood and Veneer Association that decorative and other non-structural plywood from China is being dumped and subsidized. The inquiry follows the Canada Border Services Agency's initiation of dumping and subsidizing investigations under the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA). On June 9, 2026, the Tribunal will determine whether there is a reasonable indication that the alleged dumping and subsidizing have caused injury, retardation or a threat of injury; if so, CBSA will make preliminary determinations by July 9, 2026.
