Definitions
Veneer production includes veneer intended for further production into plywood in New Zealand.
Plywood includes laminated veneer lumber from 1992 until 2002.
Particleboard includes particleboard, strandboard and triboard from the December 1996 quarter. Prior to this, triboard and strandboard had been included in the Fibreboard category. The change has been made in line with HS export and import codes.
Fibreboard includes hardboard, softboard and medium density fibreboard (MDF) from the December 1996 quarter. (See particleboard notes)
