The US Department of Commerce announced the preliminary determination of an anti-subsidy rate of 14.38% in the sixth annual review of unfairly traded Canadian softwood lumber imports into the United States. The Commerce Department has determined a combined preliminary anti-subsidy and anti-dumping duty rate of 34.45% for Canadian lumber imported in calendar year 2023. …“These unfair trade practices are designed by Canada to maintain an artificially inflated US market share for Canadian products,” stated Andrew Miller, Owner/Chair of Stimson Lumber Company and Chairman of the US Lumber Coalition. “Massive predatory unfair practices, whether committed by Canada or China, causes serious harm to US industries and workers,” said Miller. …“The American lumber industry and forestry sector today has the capacity to supply nearly all US lumber demand.” …Enforcing the US trade laws helps increase the US supply of lumber to build American homes, all without impacting the cost of a new home.
