US Dept. of Commerce Initiates Sixth Administrative Review of Duties on Certain Softwood Lumber Products From Canada

On March 5th, the US Department of Commerce initiated the sixth administrative reviews of the antidumping duty (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) orders for certain softwood lumber products from Canada.

Each year (unless the case is settled), administrative reviews are conducted to recalculate the countervailing and antidumping duty rates for shipments during the period of review (January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023) and to establish new cash deposit rates for future shipments. A company is subject to the reviews if there has been a specific request for review of that company filed by interested parties with the Commerce Department.

The full notice, published in the Federal Register, is available here. The Commerce Department said it intends to issue the final results of these reviews not later than January 31st, 2025.
