U.S. cuts softwood lumber duties in half SOURCE BC Lumber Trade Council
'We are pleased to see that the rates have been cut by more than half,' said John Allan, president of the BC Lumber Trade Council. 'We are confident that the DOC will not be able to fairly find any subsidy in the final determinations. Canada's vindication continues.'
'We have always maintained that Canadian softwood lumber is not subsidized and not dumped in the U.S.,' added Allan. 'This trade dispute will not end until all duties are removed from Canadian softwood lumber exports.'
