WASHINGTON — Strong US trade law enforcement measures coupled with the appropriate application of Section 232 tariff measures have resulted in reducing Canada’s softwood lumber market share in the US from 32% in 2016 to an average of 18.6% over the most recent quarter of available data. This significant reduction in Canadian market share comes as a direct result of the US Lumber Coalition filing trade cases and President Trump’s imposition of Section 232 tariff measures. …”The latest Canadian market share data demonstrates that Canadian imports can and should be replaced by US production. More US lumber produced by US workers to provide a more stable domestic supply of lumber for US housing is a win for American forestry workers and communities,” stated Zoltan van Heyningen, Executive Director. …”The most recent USMCA panel decisions likewise have concluded that Canada engaged in dumping, is subsidizing its industry, and that lumber imports are harming US producers”.
