The U.S. government on Friday imposed 20.56 percent anti-dumping duties on softwood lumber imports from Canada following an administrative review to determine whether the goods were being sold below fair market value.

The U.S. Commerce Department said that its administrative review found that Canadian softwood lumber was dumped in the United States at margins between 9.65 percent to 35.53 percent in 2023.
