WTO Decision Against U.S. on Softwood Lumber Duties Another Blow to Protectionists; U.S. Should End Tax on Canadian Lumber Source: American Consumers for Affordable Homes
'The U.S. cannot produce sufficient lumber to meet its needs for construction,' Petniunas said. Currently, approximately a third of our lumber must be imported. 'Protectionist duties harm millions of housing consumers and workers in lumber-dependent industries who are forced to pay higher costs to protect a small group of lumber producers from open competition with their Canadian counterparts' she said.
ACAH has urged the Department of Commerce to consider the economic impact of any managed trade settlement, including quotas, duties, or other border restrictions, before continuing to force first time home buyers, remodelers, and retirement homebuyers, to continue paying the punitive import taxes.------------------------------------------- posted 6:46 AM :: reference link ::
