U.S. decision would cut tariff on softwood lumber from Canada By MATTHEW DALY, AP, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
WASHINGTON -- In a preliminary decision hailed by Canada, the Commerce Department on Thursday recommended that the United States cut in half steep tariffs on imports of Canadian softwood lumber.
The decision has no immediate impact, because a final ruling will not be made until December, but Canadian officials said it could severely weaken the American lumber industry's case for punitive duties averaging 27 percent on Canadian lumber.
'This shows that the duties imposed on the Canadian industry were unreasonable,' said Canada's international trade minister, Jim Peterson.
'I'm pleased with the finding, but I won't be satisfied until all unfair duties are removed and the money is given back to our industry,' Peterson said.------------------------------------------- posted 6:39 AM :: reference link ::
