The U.S. Department of Commerce has finalized its latest review of countervailing duties on Canadian softwood lumber, more than doubling the rate for most producers in a decision that drew criticism from Canadian officials and industry groups.
The department said in an Aug. 8 release that its latest annual administrative review found that Canadian lumber was “unfairly subsidized” at rates ranging from just over 12 percent to nearly 17 percent.
