Commission acts against dumped imports of softwood plywood
The imposed definitive anti-dumping duties stand at 5.4% for all Brazilian exporters except for one company, for which no dumping was found. Provisional duties have already been imposed since 4 November 2025, at the same level.
The imposition of the definitive duties follows an investigation which found that imports of softwood plywood from Brazil was entering the EU at dumped prices. This is causing injury to the EU's softwood plywood industry, which is located throughout the EU and employs over 1,500 people.
Softwood plywood is used in a wide variety of final applications, including in construction, furniture manufacturing, transport, packaging, flooring and roofing.
The total EU consumption value of softwood plywood is estimated to stand at €600 million per year, of which €216 million is imported from Brazil. The overall value of imports from outside the EU is €352 million.
