Chinese companies are looking for alternatives to American wood
At present, Chinese companies are able to digest the increase in import tariffs on US wood raw materials, but if the tariff level is further increased, their business will be at risk.
To avoid this, Chinese companies are looking for alternative sources and alternatives to US logs and sawn timber.
According to China Customs data, the main products imported from the United States are cork, such as Douglas fir, spruce and fir, but after careful inspection, these woods have no real price advantage compared to other sources. Major importers import Douglas fir from Canada and spruce and fir from New Zealand and Russia.
