Tariff discussions about reducing US dependence on foreign goods became a focus for the second Trump administration. …However, the US forest products industry’s reliance on Canadian wood raises questions about eliminating Canadian wood imports entirely. This piece is the second in a two-part series by the Fastmarkets team. Part one of this series explored converting capacity to replace finished products sourced from Canada.  …Theoretically, US federal lands currently have ample timber supplies to offset the volume of softwood lumber imported from Canada. However, increasing federal timber harvests upwards of 450% may be challenging, as many headwinds, aside from those related to lumber production capacity, may limit the government’s ability to ramp up timber production to this level. Foremost is the contraction of forest area available for harvest due to environmental regulation and wildfires. Trump’s executive order and proposed NWFP amendments aim to address these issues, but this will likely not happen overnight.
