In general Chinese plywood face and back veneer grading follows HPVA grading rules. However the actual product is a collaboration between importer and manufacturer to meet specific customer needs and requirements. Many elements such as core construction, quality of core veneer, moisture control, thickness tolerance, glue type etc. are per agreement between mill and importer that will ultimately determine the quality of the plywood. It is important to choose a trusted and experienced importer when purchasing Chinese commodity plywood due to the elements of construction and product quality previously mentioned.
