<\/span>The United States is poised to more than double duties on Canadian softwood lumber to 34.45%, putting more pressure on U.S. materials costs even before President Donald Trump places any new tariffs on the sector.<\/p>\n

The U.S. currently levies countervailing and anti-dumping duties totaling 14.4%, a level that was set last year. Those are now set to rise another 20 percentage points, according to a Department of Commerce memo.<\/p>\n

New duties on Canadian lumber come on the back of other pressures such as higher input costs, wildfires, and a mountain pine beetle outbreak that has affected tens of millions of acres of forests in western Canada.<\/p>\n

Trump has threatened, but not yet imposed, further import taxes on lumber. The president has ordered a national security investigation into U.S. imports of wood and has said the U.S. doesn\u2019t need Canada\u2019s. But U.S. homebuilders have warned that more tariffs will only drive up the cost of new housing.<\/p>\n

The current duties are the result of a trade dispute between Canada and the U.S. that has been dragging on for decades. The U.S. claims Canadian sawmills are subsidized because forests north of the border are largely owned by provincial governments, which they allege set low fees, known as \u201cstumpage\u201d rates, to undercut the market. Canada denies this.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur stumpage system is grounded in market principles, with timber sold through open, competitive auctions,\u201d Kurt Niquidet, president of the British Columbia Lumber Trade Council, said in an emailed statement.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s separate from the barrage of tariffs being imposed by the White House in Trump\u2019s second term, which include tariffs on Canadian products that aren\u2019t in compliance with the Canada-U.S.-Mexico trade accord and separate 25% tariffs on steel, aluminum, and automobiles.<\/p>\n

Lumber is a major industry in Canadian provinces including British Columbia and Quebec. B.C. Premier David Eby said he will discuss the new duties with Liberal Leader Mark Carney on Monday and called the new rates \u201can attack on forest workers and British Columbians,\u201d adding they\u2019d increase housing costs \u201cfor Americans who voted for a president who promised to lower costs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Canada\u2019s practices cause \u201ceveryday egregious harm to the U.S. industry,\u201d U.S. Lumber Coalition chairman Andrew Miller said in a statement. \u201cThese unfair trade practices are designed by Canada to maintain an artificially inflated U.S. market share for Canadian products and force U.S. companies to curtail production, thereby killing U.S. jobs.\u201d<\/p>\n

New duties come on the back of other pressures such as higher input costs, wildfires, and a mountain pine beetle outbreak that has affected tens of millions of acres of forests in western Canada.<\/p>\n

In Quebec, the second-largest producing region in the country, industry executives are struggling to see past the pressures and now a wall of U.S. trade barriers.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
