USDA Proposes Softwood Lumber Research and Promotion Order

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) is proposing a Softwood Lumber Research, Promotion, Consumer Education and Industry Information Order to strengthen the US softwood lumber market, maintain and expand existing markets, and develop new uses for softwood lumber. The proposed order would be financed by an assessment on domestic manufacturers and importers, with a proposed initial assessment rate of $0.35 per thousand board feet of softwood lumber shipped within or imported to the United States.
