The United States has more than doubled countervailing duties on Canadian softwood lumber imports, intensifying a decades-long trade dispute and prompting swift retaliation from Ottawa.<\/span><\/p>\n

The U.S. Department of Commerce confirmed the countervailing duty rate will rise to 14.63%<\/strong> from 6.74%<\/strong>, effective immediately. Combined with the 20.56%<\/strong> anti-dumping duties announced weeks earlier, most Canadian softwood lumber now faces a 35.19%<\/strong> combined rate at the border.<\/p>\n

Some companies will see steeper rates. Canfor Corporation faces a combined 41.67%<\/strong>, West Fraser Mills will pay 16.50%<\/strong>, while most other exporters fall under the \u201cAll Others\u201d category at 27.30%<\/strong>. U.S. Customs and Border Protection has already begun collecting at the new rates.<\/p>\n

Ottawa responds with support package<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced a C$1.2 billion<\/strong> aid package for the sector, including C$700 million<\/strong> in loan guarantees and C$500 million<\/strong> for product innovation and market diversification. British Columbia\u2019s Minister of Forests, Ravi Parmar, called the duties \u201cabsurd and reckless,\u201d while the BC Council of Forest Industries warned the measures will harm communities on both sides of the border.<\/p>\n

The BC Lumber Trade Council said the tariffs will drive up U.S. construction costs, adding to pressure on forestry-dependent regions in Canada.<\/p>\n

U.S. industry backs higher duties<\/strong><\/p>\n

The U.S. Lumber Coalition welcomed the decision, with Executive Director Zoltan van Heyningen saying Canadian producers have long benefited from unfair subsidies. The coalition said domestic mills have expanded capacity by 8.8 billion board feet<\/strong> since 2016, producing an additional 30 billion board feet<\/strong> of lumber \u2014 enough for two million new single-family homes.<\/p>\n

More tariffs possible under Section 232 review<\/strong><\/p>\n

An ongoing Section 232 investigation launched by former President Trump could impose further tariffs if lumber imports are deemed a national security risk. Such measures would be separate from the USMCA and handled under global trade remedy laws.<\/p>\n

The dispute, rooted in U.S. claims that Canadian government ownership of forests amounts to unfair subsidization, has persisted since the 1980s. Canada rejects the allegation.<\/p>\n

Canada shifts market focus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Canada has reduced its reliance on the U.S. market, with the share of exports heading south falling from 78% to 68%<\/strong> in the past year. The government is targeting sales in Europe and Asia, while encouraging greater domestic use of Canadian lumber.<\/p>\n

For U.S. homebuilders, the stakes are high. The National Association of Home Builders estimates the tariffs could add up to $14,000<\/strong> to the cost of a new home by 2027 \u2014 a burden they say will ultimately fall on American buyers.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
