EU Imposes Antidumping Duties on Brazilian Softwood Plywood Imports
Commission acts against dumped imports of softwood plywood
On Wednesday, the European Commission imposed definitive antidumping duties of 5.4% on imports of softwood plywood panels from Brazil, following an investigation that found products were being sold at dumped prices in the EU.
The duties apply to all Brazilian exporters except one company, for which no dumping was identified. The measures formalize provisional duties that have been in place since November 4, 2025, at the same rate.
The Commission said the investigation concluded that low-priced imports from Brazil caused injury to the EU’s softwood plywood industry, which operates across member states and employs more than 1,500 people.
Total EU consumption of softwood plywood is estimated at €600 million annually (US$708 million), with €216 million (US$255 million) imported from Brazil. Overall imports from outside the EU total €352 million (US$415 million).
