considered the face and back veneers, in
accordance with the descriptions above.
The core of hardwood and decorative
plywood consists of the layer or layers of one
or more material(s) that are situated between
the face and back veneers. The core may be
composed of a range of materials, including
but not limited to veneers, particleboard, and
medium-density fiberboard (‘‘MDF’’).
All hardwood and decorative plywood is
included within the scope of this
investigation regardless of whether or not the
face and/or back veneers are surface coated,
unless the surface coating obscures the grain,
texture or markings of the wood in a
permanent manner. Examples of surface
coatings which may not obscure the grain,
texture or markings of the wood include, but
are not limited to, ultra-violet light cured
polyurethanes, oil or oil-modified or water
based polyurethanes, wax, epoxy-ester
finishes, and moisture-cured urethanes.
Hardwood and decorative plywood that has
face and/or back veneers which have a
permanent and opaque surface coating which
obscures the grain, texture or markings of the
wood, are not included within the scope of
this investigation. Examples of permanently
affixed surface coatings which may obscure
the grain, texture or markings of wood
include, but are not limited to, paper,
aluminum, high pressure laminate (‘‘HPL’’),
MDF, medium density overlay (‘‘MDO’’), and
phenolic film. Additionally, the face veneer
of hardwood and decorative plywood may be
sanded, smoothed or given a ‘‘distressed’’
appearance through such methods as handscraping or wire brushing. The face veneer
may be stained.
The scope of the investigation excludes the
following items: (1) structural plywood (also
known as ‘‘industrial plywood’’ or
‘‘industrial panels’’) that is manufactured and
stamped to meet U.S. Products Standard PS
1–09, PS 2–09, or PS 2–10 for Structural
Plywood (including any revisions to that
standard or any substantially equivalent
international standard intended for structural
plywood), including but not limited to the
‘‘bond performance’’ requirements set forth at
paragraph 5.8.6.4 of that Standard and the
performance criteria detailed at Table 4
through 10 of that Standard; (2) products
which have a face and back veneer of cork;
(3) multilayered wood flooring, as described
in the antidumping duty and countervailing
duty orders on Multilayered Wood Flooring
from the People’s Republic of China, Import
Administration, International Trade
Administration, U.S. Department of
Commerce Investigation Nos. A–570–970 and
C–570–971 (published December 8, 2011),
and additionally, multilayered wood flooring
with a face veneer of bamboo or composed
