<\/span>China Customs data shows that in May 2025 total wood imports reached 4.966 million cubic metres, a 17% decrease compared to the same period in 2024.<\/p>\n

Specifically, log imports stood at 2.961 million cubic metres, down 18.5% year-on-year, while sawnwood imports reached 2.005 million cubic metres, down 15%.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that imports of African wood to China continued to shrink in the first five months of 2025. The total import volume was 813,700 cubic metres, a 31% year on year decrease.<\/p>\n

On 11 June, China announced that it would implement a policy of granting 53 African countries having diplomatic relations with China zero-tariff treatment for all tariff lines, expanding the scope from 33 countries, with newly added countries such as Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Cameroon and Angola.<\/p>\n

Wood products would also enjoy zero-tariff treatment which is expected to boost the export of wood from African countries to the Chinese market.<\/p>\n

Recently, China's plywood industry faced significant export challenges. On 12 June, the US Department of Commerce announced the initiation of antidumping duty and countervailing duty investigations on hardwood and decorative plywood from China, Indonesia and Vietnam.T he preliminary antidumping duty rate for Chinese products was set at 504.07%, far exceeding the rates of 138.04% - 152.41% for Vietnamese products and 84.94% for Indonesian products.<\/p>\n

On 10 June the European Commission officially announced a preliminary affirmative determination in the antidumping duty investigation of hardwood plywood from China. Except for an enterprise subject to a 25.1% provisional antidumping duty, other Chinese companies face a rate of 62.4%.<\/p>\n

In June 2025 the GTI-China index registered 57.5%, a decrease of 0.1 percentage point from the previous month and has been above the critical value (50%) for 4 consecutive months indicating that the business prosperity of the timber enterprises represented by the GTI-China index expanded from the previous month.<\/p>\n

In June, China's timber sector still saw an upward trend on both production and consumption; however, the expansion was not so obvious. As for the sub-indexes, all the twelve indexes were above the critical value of 50%. Compared to the previous month the index for inventory of finished products increased by 0.2 percentage point while the indexes for production, new orders, export orders, existing orders, purchase quantity, purchase price, import, inventory of main raw materials, employees, delivery time and market expectation declined by 0.2-1.7 percentage point(s).<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
