Remove U.S. lumber duties, say Ontario ministers

The U.S. Department of Commerce has decided to maintain duties against Canadian softwood lumber imports prompting two Ontario government cabinet ministers to express their disappointment.

The protracted trade dispute shows no sign of resolution since U.S. duties were imposed on Canadian producers in April 2017. The U.S. Department of Commerce annually reviews anti-dumping and countervailing duties. The recent ruling is that most Canadian softwood lumber is subject to a 7.99 per cent tax.

The ministers said the U.S. depends Ontario softwood lumber for building practices and this trade practice hurts producers and drives up the cost for consumers on both sides of the border.
