EU launches inquiry on suspected birch plywood anti-dumping duty breach

Posted on September 1, 2023   |  

The European Commission initiated a probe into possible anti-dumping duty evasion regarding Russian birch plywood within the EU market.

Led by Latvijas Finieris, the investigation aims to uncover entities linked to potential violations.

Collaboration is set to occur among the EC, Woodstock Consortium, and EU-based associations and firms.

Concerns arise regarding the circumvention of duties and sanctions via trade routes involving Kazakhstan and Turkey.

Notably, after sanctions, a significant surge in birch plywood imports from Russia to Turkey and subsequently to the EU is observed.
