U.S. Commerce Enforcement and Compliance Division adding 60 Additional Days onto All Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Reviews

Jeffrey I. Kessler, the U.S. Commerce Department Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance (E&C) announced the addition of 60 days to the deadline for all antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) administrative reviews. This announcement, made on July 21^st 2020, is due to the continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic and is similar to the first decision to push the deadline back by 50 days made on April 24^th 2020. This will therefore delay the duty adjustments anticipated in August on Canadian softwood lumber entering the U.S. by approximately 60 days.
