April home industry new trends

April 29, 2024
The US Commerce secretary has revealed that the US will impose a 20% tariff on Canadian softwood lumber


Wilbur Ross, the US commerce secretary, said on April 24 that his department would impose new countervailing duties averaging 20 per cent on softwood lumber imports from Canada. The move will intensify a long-running trade dispute between the United States and Canada.
 
A day before formally announcing the move, Ross said in a phone call with Reuters that the tariff revisions would affect $5 billion worth of softwood lumber imports from Canada.
 
"Softwood lumber imports from Canada account for about 31.5% of the total U.S. market," Ross said. So this is a very big decision in terms of relations with Canada."
 
The U.S. lumber industry filed a trade case against Canadian softwood lumber producers with the Commerce Department, arguing that Canadian softwood growers who grow lumber on public lands are effectively subsidized by the Canadian government, but U.S. companies do not enjoy such subsidies, and most of the lumber they cut is grown on private land.
 
A U.S. Commerce Department document seen by Reuters, which has not yet been released, showed that Canada's Westfolin Products LTD would pay the highest tariff at 24.12 percent, followed by Canada's Canfor Forestry LTD at 20.26 percent. Resolute Forest Products of Canada will pay a 12.82 percent tariff, while Tolko Marketing and Sales and Tolko Industries will pay 19.50 percent and JD Irving will pay 3.02 percent.
 
All other Canadian softwood lumber producers are subject to a 19.88 per cent tariff.
 
The preliminary ruling instructs that U.S. Customs and Border Protection will require all new imports and softwood lumber products imported in the past 90 days to post a cash deposit for the duties
