Certain Softwood Lumber Products From Canada: Final Results of the Countervailing Duty Administrative Review, 2017-2018

Summary

The US Department of Commerce has concluded an administrative review of countervailing duties on Canadian softwood lumber products, finding that Canadian producers and exporters received subsidies during the review period from April 28, 2017 to December 31, 2018. The review was initiated to determine whether Canadian softwood lumber producers and exporters received countervailable subsidies, which are prohibited under US trade law. The Commerce Department's final results will likely impact the US lumber industry, which imports a significant amount of softwood lumber from Canada. The review was conducted by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS).
