The Department of Commerce has started a review of the trade rules that apply to hardwood plywood products imported from China. These reviews are looking at whether to lift some of the duties that are currently charged when these products enter the U.S. The change is being considered because the group requesting it, which is made up of most U.S. producers, says certain products like specific types of door parts aren't similar to what's usually restricted. Commerce is inviting the public to comment on this proposal to revoke the duties on these specific parts.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Department of Commerce is checking if it should stop charging extra fees on some wood pieces from China because the makers say these parts aren't like the ones usually restricted. They're asking people to share their thoughts about this idea.
