The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced it’s planning to almost triple the anti-dumping duties on Canadian softwood lumber, bringing total levies to almost 27 percent even before the American president’s threatened tariffs.
The department issued a preliminary anti-dumping rate of 20.07 percent today, up from 7.66 percent sent three years ago, which is in addition to countervailing duties of 6.74 percent.
