China increases its attempts to avoid the US tariffs on plywood imports. Thus, the identification codes which will be placed on every product imported to the US might be altered by some Chinese exporters, as to avoid the tariffs.<\/em><\/p>\n

The 10-digit codes, of which there are around 19,000, identify products and provide a common language to bridge different markets.<\/p>\n

As reported by Woodworking Network, an Oregon wood importer said that he was approached by a Chinese supplier asking if he would like to get some Chinese plywood free of tariffs. When asked how that would work, the caller said that the plywood would be stripped of its Chinese markings and that it would be shipped \"under some other code.\"<\/p>\n

There are also some websites, where the Chinese exporters exchange information about the tariff codes (Yishanghuiyou - Friends Through Commerce).<\/p>\n

Also, there is a higher number of US Customs rulings on questionable export Chinese export classifications and it\u2019s estimated that the US loses nearly $550 million in customs revenues every year due to tariff evasion.<\/p>\n

The Decorative Hardwoods Association and the Coalition for Fair Trade of Hardwood Plywood both voiced evasion and antidumping concerns to the US Department of Commerce earlier this year, Woodworking Network reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore the orders were issued, Chinese producers began to preemptively circumvent the anticipated orders by taking merchandise fully covered by the scope and making minor alterations in an attempt to remove products from the coverage of the scope to avoid duties<\/em>,\" said Tim Brightbill of Wiley Rein, the law firm representing the Coalition. \"Such blatant attempts to evade the orders are depriving the domestic industry of the full extent of the trade relief it deserves.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The US Department of Commerce explained that various types of hardwood plywood that come from China are part of a group of products which are being sold at very low prices in the US, and that those specific products are the subject of antidumping and countervailing duties.<\/p>\n

The Department's final scope specifically states that Chinese hardwood plywood used in kitchen cabinets would be subject to antidumping duties unless it is packaged for sale to a consumer end-user of the cabinet - with all components necessary to assemble the cabinet in a single, discreet package, as reported by Woodworking Network.<\/p>\n

Soon after Commerce's ruling, Chinese producers began to ship plywood under four other codes, from 4412.39.10.00 through 4412.39.50.00. These are the codes apply for softwood-faced plywood, which has lower tariffs.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0ITC issued its final determination last November, activating significant tariffs - nearly 200 percent - on some on imports of Chinese hardwood, voting 4-0 that the domestic industry is materially injured, or threatened with material injury, by reason of these dumped and subsidized imports.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
