Global Trade Alert

On 6 August 2010 the Australian authorities decided to terminate the investigation without imposing duties.
 
On December 3, 2009 the Australian Customs and Border Protection issued a notice of initiation of an anti-dumping investigation on imports of certain types of plywood ("plywood sheeting, of conifer and nonconifer species, in various widths and grades ranging from high quality appearance structurally certified grades with minimal imperfections, through to non-structural non-appearance grades to which no manufacturing standard applies") originating from Brazil, Chile, China and Malaysia. The investigation was launched on request from three large plywood manufacturers in Australia.
