Softwood Lumber Industry News

On February 1, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced the preliminary results of its fifth administrative reviews with respect to imports of softwood lumber products from Canada.

These results do not take effect, but may serve as an indication of the final duty rates the U.S. Department of Commerce will issue later in 2024. The Honorable Mary Ng, Minister of Export Promotion, International Trade and Economic Development, issued a statement in response to these preliminary results by the U.S. Department of Commerce.
