The U.S. Department of Commerce announced its final decision in the sixth administrative review of the countervailing duty order on softwood lumber from Canada.
Administrative reviews are conducted once a year at the request of an interested party after an antidumping duty or countervailing duty order is put into effect. This review covers imports of softwood lumber from Canada that entered into the United States during the period of January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023.
The Department of Commerce determined that softwood lumber from Canada was being unfairly subsidized at rates ranging from 12.12 percent to 16.82 percent.
Commerce will now instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to begin collecting duties at the rates outlined in Commerce’s final results. The Department recently announced the final decision in the administrative review of the antidumping duty order.
