The European Commission proposed preliminary antidumping duties on imports of softwood plywood from Brazil, following an investigation launched earlier this year into alleged unfair pricing practices.

The proposal, published on October 7, sets a provisional duty rate of 6.2% on Brazilian softwood plywood, expressed on the CIF Union border price, customs duty unpaid.

The Commission said the rates will not take effect until the provisional measures are formally adopted. The move follows a complaint filed in January by the Softwood Plywood Consortium (SPC) on behalf of EU producers, alleging that Brazilian plywood was being sold in the Union at dumped prices, harming the bloc’s manufacturers.

The investigation period, covering January–December 2024, examines both dumping and injury to the EU industry.
