Clarification of the Scope of the Orders
The Department intends to clarify the
scope language by specifying that
MLWF products covered by the scope of
the Orders are products composed of a
minimum of three layers. We intend to
revise the first paragraph of the scope of
the order as follows:
Multilayered wood flooring is composed of
an assembly of two or more layers or plies
of wood veneer(s) 3 in combination with a
core (i.e. a minimum of three layers). The
several layers, along with the core, are glued
or otherwise bonded together to form a final
assembled product. Multilayered wood
flooring is often referred to by other terms,
e.g., ‘‘engineered wood flooring’’ or
‘‘plywood flooring.’’ Regardless of the
particular terminology, all products that meet
3A
‘‘veneer’’ is a thin slice of wood, rotary cut,
sliced or sawed from a log, bolt or flitch. Veneer is
referred to as a ply when assembled.
