The Global Wood Summit will feature the US Lumber Coalition’s Executive Director—Zoltan van Heyningen. The two-day conference on the state of the forest sector and global markets and trade takes place October 29 and 30 in Vancouver. The long running US-Canada softwood lumber dispute and the current import duties impact huge volumes of Canadian lumber exports to the US. Countervailing and anti-dumping duties are currently in place that are tied to annual Administrative Reviews where duty rates change. Zoltan will follow the panel of experts on North American lumber markets, discussing some of the background to US trade law and duties and how it impacts Canadian lumber exports to the US. Delegates to the Global Wood Summit will see over 30 speakers from around the world to discuss what is going on in the world of forest products and what the outlooks will be for 2025.
