\n

US imports of hardwood plywood increased in volume by 11% in November but are still down 20% year to date from 2017. Gains were sharp in November from the many countries gaining from cooling US trade with China. Imports from Malaysia and Indonesia were both up nearly 50% for November and are now ahead by around two-thirds for the year to date.<\/em><\/p>\n

Imports of plywood from China, while gaining 4% in November, are down 76% year to date. China, which in 2017 held nearly half of the US import market in hardwood plywood, is now well behind Indonesia in volume sent to the US this year.<\/p>\n

Although the volume of hardwood plywood is down, total sales in dollars are ahead by 9% year to date, due to higher prices for the types of panel being sold.<\/p>\n

Sawn tropical hardwood imports dip<\/strong><\/p>\n

US Imports of sawn tropical hardwood fell by 3% in November to 19,791 cubic meters, which is 10% higher than November 2017.<\/p>\n

Year to date, imports are behind by 10% with Ecuadorian imports down by a quarter. Imports of balsa fell by 15% in November and are more than 25% behind 2017 imports year to date. Sapelli and Acajou d\u2019Afrique both gained sharply in November, but still remain down about 20% year to date.<\/p>\n

Jatoba and Keruing imports also gained in November and are well ahead of 2017 year to date.<\/p>\n

Veneer imports continue to wane<\/strong><\/p>\n

US imports of tropical hardwood veneer declined by 12% in November, falling for the third straight month. The decline is bringing imports back toward 2017 levels after a much stronger early part of the year.<\/p>\n

Year-to-date imports still outpace 2017 by 27% as imports from India continue to grow, increasing by 17% in November. Imports of veneer from India have more than doubled in 2018 over 2017.<\/p>\n

While Imports from China slipped by nearly a third in November, year-to-date totals are still up 44%.<\/p>\n

Flooring imports mixed in November<\/strong><\/p>\n

US Imports of hardwood flooring continued to be strong in November, rising by 10% over October to a level nearly double that of November 2017.<\/p>\n

Imports from Chinese fell by 13% in November but remain ahead of 2017 year to date by more than 60%. Imports from Brazil were up 31% in November and are also ahead year to date by more than 60%.<\/p>\n

Malaysian exports of flooring are also very strong with imports more than tripling in November for the strongest month since October 2015. Malaysian imports are up 76% year to date over 2017. Total imports are ahead of 2017 by 41% year to date.<\/p>\n

Imports of assembled flooring have not been as robust, declining by 6% in November. However, year-to-date imports remain about 10% above 2017.<\/p>\n

Moulding imports remain flat<\/strong><\/p>\n

US imports of hardwood moulding fell by 3% in November, remaining fairly consistent as they have throughout the year. Most trading countries have not strayed more than 5% from 2017 year-to-date numbers all year. The exception has been Canada, which now is 23% behind year to date after dropping 9% in November.<\/p>\n

Imports from Brazil also had been lagging, but a rise of 35% in November brought year-to-date imports even with 2017 numbers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
