<\/span>Following the US administration\u2019s announcement to impose US tariffs of 25% on all aluminium and steel imports the EU launched a consultation in March on possible retaliatory tariffs. A very large range of US forest products were included in the initial list of products pencilled in for retaliatory EU tariffs. Several EU forest products trade and industry groups provided input into the EU consultation asking that these products be removed from the list to discourage any imminent trade war between the US and EU from spilling over into the forest products sector.<\/p>\n

On 2 April, the US President issued an Executive Order that imposed, starting 9 April, an additional ad valorem duty on all US imports from all trading partners, with some specific exceptions.<\/p>\n

For the forest products sector, a notable exception is everything up to and including 4413 in HS Chapter 44 - that is biomass, chips, poles, logs, lumber, sleepers, mouldings, veneer, plywood and densified wood.<\/p>\n

These wood products are exempt from the 2 April Executive Order because they are subject to an on-going investigation under the terms of another Presidential Executive Order issued on 1 March targeting lumber products that may lead to alternative sector-specific tariffs in the future.<\/p>\n

The additional US duty on products not subject to an exception was slated to start at 10% for all trade partners with additional duties above this level imposed on trading partners determined largely by the size of their trade surplus in goods with the U.S. The duty on goods imports from the EU was slated at 20%, while the UK would be subject to the baseline 10% tariff.<\/p>\n

The EU voted on 9 April on the first tranche of US products to be subject to 25% retaliatory tariffs in response to the earlier U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminium products. While some U.S. hardwood products have been targeted by the EU, the list is much reduced from the original proposal sent out for consultation in March.<\/p>\n

According to unofficial analysis by the American Hardwood Export Council, products targeted for EU retaliatory tariffs account for around 10% of the total value of US hardwood primary products imports (logs, lumber, veneer, plywood, mouldings) into the EU.<\/p>\n

The EU retaliatory list excluded some of the largest U.S. hardwood export items, notably all hardwood logs, all oak lumber, lumber of \u201cother\u201d hardwood species (which covers species such as walnut, tulipwood, and hickory), and thin veneers. The products included were generally less prominent in U.S. exports to the EU, such as ash, cherry, and maple lumber.<\/p>\n

Following the 9 April announcement of a 90-day delay to the imposition of all US tariffs above the 10% baseline to allow time for negotiations, the EU responded by announcing that their package of retaliatory tariffs would also be delayed. The EU tariffs on US hardwood products are now scheduled to be imposed from 16 July.<\/p>\n

Overall, the fact that both the US and EU have so far refrained from imposing additional tariffs on their bilateral trade in primary wood products has been seen by the wood industry in the EU as a partial win in their efforts to avoid the forest products sector being dragged into the wider trade war.<\/p>\n

It is only a partial win because a large proportion of secondary and tertiary processed wood products, including all wood furniture products, are still slated for retaliatory tariffs by both the US and EU, respectively of 20% and 25%, in their bilateral trade. If no agreement can be reached in on-going negotiations these tariffs will be imposed in July.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
