Commerce revises countervailing duty rates for Canadian softwood lumber producers

The U.S. Department of Commerce issued a regulatory notice revising countervailing duty rates on Canadian softwood lumber, not a request for products or services. - Government buyer and office: U.S. Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration, Enforcement and Compliance. No purchasing agency or procurement is identified. - Affected producers/exporters and amended subsidy rates: - Canfor Corporation: 13.24% amended to 12.49%. - J.D. Irving, Limited: 3.34% amended to 2.96%. - Resolute FP Canada Inc.: 14.70% amended to 13.90%. - Tolko Marketing and Sales Ltd.: 14.85% amended to 11.01%. - West Fraser Mills Ltd.: 17.99% amended to 16.73%. - All other companies: 14.19% amended to 12.80%. - Notable requirements and impact: The changes follow a NAFTA Binational Panel decision concerning the countervailing duty investigation and order for certain softwood lumber products from Canada. Commerce will provide revised cash-deposit instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection for companies without superseding rates. The notice states that current cash-deposit rates remain unchanged for the five named producers because each has a superseding rate. - Procurement items: No products or services, part numbers, quantities, contract value, or period of performance are specified.
