The US Commerce Department raises duties on Canadian softwood lumber.

The Canadian government is criticizing the U.S. Commerce Department's decision to raise duties on Canadian softwood lumber from 8.05% to 13.86%. Canada plans to challenge this decision using various legal avenues, including litigation through existing trade agreements, the World Trade Organization, and the U.S. Court of International Trade. The B.C. government has expressed disappointment at the decision, stating that the continued application of unjustified duties on B.C. softwood lumber exports to the U.S. is hurting both Canadian and American citizens alike. Canada is ready to negotiate a resolution to the long-standing dispute with the U.S. over softwood lumber.
