The US Lumber Coalition applauds the U.S. Customs and Border Protection announcement of its determination that Coastal Forest Products (based in Bow, NH) has evaded the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on softwood lumber imports from Canada. In reaching its determination, CBP rejected Coastal Forest Products’ argument that the Canadian-origin merchandise “underwent ‘substantial transformation’ in New Zealand.” …As a result of CBP’s determination, Coastal Forest Products will be responsible for unpaid duties and will be required to post cash deposits on future entries of the covered merchandise. …CBP launched its investigation based on an allegation filed by the US Lumber Coalition. ….”The message to Canada is clear: transshipment of lumber into the United States via a third country to evade antidumping and countervailing duties is not tolerated, nor possible,” added van Heyningen.
