Canada\u2019s softwood lumber industry wants the Biden administration to refund billions of dollars that companies have paid since 2017 to cover anti-dumping and countervailing duties.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s our money,\u201d British Columbia Lumber Trade Council President Susan Yurkovich told POLITICO. Like other industry lobbyists, she contends the tariffs were unwarranted and should never have been imposed.<\/p>\n

But any reimbursement would likely come as part of a broader agreement on softwood lumber between the U.S. and Canada. Canada has repeatedly asked the U.S. to come to the negotiating table \u2014 most recently during a G-7 summit confab between Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Biden. But so far, the Biden administration hasn\u2019t given into such pleas.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe United States is open to resolving our differences with Canada over softwood lumber, but it would require addressing Canadian policies that create an uneven playing field for the U.S. industry,\u201d Adam Hodge, a spokesperson for the U.S. trade representative, told POLITICO. \u201cUnfortunately, to date, Canada has not been willing to adequately address these concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n

There is precedent for a big U.S. repayment of duties. In a 2006 agreement to settle a past lumber dispute, the George W. Bush administration agreed to give back $4.4 billion of the $5.4 billion in anti-dumping and countervailing duties the U.S. government collected on Canadian softwood lumber imports in the early 2000s.<\/p>\n

Lumber is not the only score that Canada is looking to settle. On Friday, Ottawa requested a dispute settlement panel under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement to address the 18 percent tariff the U.S. has in place on the country\u2019s solar products.<\/p>\n

The tariffs, introduced in the twilight of former President Donald Trump's term in office, have so far been maintained by the Biden administration. \u201cThese tariffs are unwarranted and damaging to the global competitiveness of our long-established, secure, and deeply integrated supply chains,\u201d Canadian Trade Minister Mary Ng said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
