As the U.S. Department of Commerce issued its final determination in the second administrative review of softwood lumber imports from Canada, different reactions from different parties involved in the lumber market emerged.<\/p>\n

Canada disappointed with U.S. final softwood lumber duty rate<\/strong><\/p>\n

International Trade Minister Mary Ng and B.C.'s lumber producers say they are disappointed that the U.S. Department of Commerce has decided to increase duties on Canada's softwood lumber producers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The U.S. government said Wednesday that its final combined anti-dumping and countervailing duty rate for most Canadian producers will be 17.9 per cent.<\/p>\n

That's slightly below the 18.32 per cent preliminary rate issued in May but double the initial 8.99 per cent rate.<\/p>\n

Ng called on the U.S. to stop imposing \"these unwarranted duties\" that harm Canadian communities, business and workers while also raising costs of housing and renovations for U.S. consumers.<\/p>\n

Final rates for four Canadian producers have been slightly reduced from May. The final rate for Canfor Corp. is 19.54 per cent, down from 21.04 per cent; West Fraser Timber Co. Inc. is 11.12 per cent, down from 11.38 per cent; Resolute Forest Products Inc. is 29.66 per cent, down from 30.22 per cent; and JD Irving is 15 per cent, down from 15.82 per cent.<\/p>\n

The BC Lumber Trade Council says the final rates are not unexpected but still disappointing, especially since U.S. producers are unable to meet domestic demand.<\/p>\n

\"Our strong hope is that the U.S. industry will end this decades-long litigation and instead work with us to meet demand for the low-carbon wood products the world wants, including American families,\" stated council president Susan Yurkovich.<\/p>\n

\"Until then, we will continue to vigorously defend our industry against these meritless allegations.\"<\/p>\n

Ng said the Canadian government will continue to defend the softwood lumber industry including through litigation under Chapter 10 of the CUSMA trade deal with Canada, the U.S. and Mexico, NAFTA's Chapter 19 and at the World Trade Organization.<\/p>\n

Lumber Coalition applauds move to double Canadian softwood lumber tariffs<\/strong><\/p>\n

The combined anti-subsidy and anti-dumping duty rate of 17.9% confirms yet again that Canadian\"\"<\/a>\u00a0imports are unfairly subsidized and traded into the U.S. market, the\u00a0U.S. Lumber Coalition\u00a0said\u00a0in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe U.S. Lumber Coalition thanks the Commerce Department\u2019s for their hard work and continued commitment to strongly enforce the U.S. trade laws against unfairly traded Canadian lumber imports,\u201d stated Jason Brochu, Chairman of the U.S. Lumber Coalition and Co-President of Pleasant River Lumber Company. \u201cTrade law enforcement maximizes long-term domestic production and lumber availability and has already resulted in dramatic growth of U.S. made lumber to meet strong demand to build more American homes,\u201d added Brochu.<\/p>\n

U.S. sawmill investment and capacity expansion has been robust since the filing of the trade cases by the U.S. Lumber Coalition in 2016. The U.S. industry appears on track to have produced an additional 17.5 billion boardfeet of lumber through 2021, averaging 3.5 billion a year. These increases have more than offset any decline in unfairly traded Canadian imports and are enough lumber to build about 1.2 million single-family American homes, the statement said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe U.S. Lumber Coalition strongly urges the Administration to continue full trade law enforcement. More U.S. lumber being produced in America to meet domestic demand is a direct result of the enforcement. A level playing field is critical for the continued investment and growth of the domestic lumber industry and its hundreds of thousands of workers and thousands of communities across the United States,\u201d concluded Brochu.<\/p>\n

The U.S. industry remains open to a new U.S.\u2013Canada softwood lumber trade agreement if and when Canada can demonstrate that it is serious about negotiations for an agreement that offsets the injury caused by Canadian unfair trade to U.S. producers, workers, and timberland holders. Until then, the U.S. Lumber Coalition fully supports the continued strong enforcement of the U.S. trade laws to address Canada\u2019s unfair softwood lumber trade practices,\u00a0the statement said.<\/p>\n

NAHB: Doubling softwood lumber tariffs will rise U.S. home prices<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Doubling the softwood lumber tariffs will only exacerbate market volatility, put upward pressure on lumber prices and make housing more expensive, said Chuck Fowke, chairman of the\u00a0National Association of Home Builders\u00a0(NAHB) commenting the U.S. Commerce moves to double the tariffs on Canadian lumber from 9% to 17.9%.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the nation in the midst of a housing affordability crisis, the Biden administration has moved to slap a huge, unwanted tax hike on American home buyers and renters by doubling the tariffs on Canadian lumber shipments into the U.S. This is the worst time to add needless housing costs onto the backs of hardworking American families. Home builders are grappling with lumber and other building material supply chain bottlenecks that are raising construction costs. And consumers are dealing with rising inflation that is pushing mortgage interest rates higher.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis decision undermines the historic funding commitment made to housing in the Build Back Better legislation and erodes efforts by Commerce Secretary Raimondo and other Biden administration officials to tackle the lumber and building materials supply issues plaguing the industry. Rather than placating China and Europe with sweetheart trade deals, the White House needs to change course and move immediately to engage with our Canadian partners on a long-term solution to the trade dispute that will end tariffs and help restore price stability to the lumber market,\u201d\u00a0he stated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
