US Dept. of Commerce Publishes New Antidumping Duties for Canadian Softwood Lumber
On Tuesday, July 29, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) published the new antidumping duties for the sixth administrative review (AR6) of imports of Canadian softwood lumber products in the Federal Register, thereby making them effective.
The DOC first announced the final AR6 antidumping determinations on July 27. The rates are summarized in the table below:
Total deposits on Canadian lumber shipments to the US are now 27.30%, up from 14.40%. The final results of the countervailing duty for AR6 are currently scheduled to be released on August 8. Based on the preliminary countervailing determination released earlier this year (14.38%), lumber duties may approach nearly 35% once both final AR6 rates are published.
