Eby says B.C. could fight lumber tariffs in U.S. courts
B.C. will consult a U.S. law firm to explore a legal challenge against a 10% U.S. tariff, adding to existing duties totaling 45%, affecting lumber jobs and mills.
- British Columbia Premier David Eby said the U.S. Supreme Court ruling against broad global tariffs opens the door for B.C. to challenge the additional 10% lumber tariff imposed on national security grounds in U.S. courts.
- Eby described the 10% tariff as quite devastating for B.C.'s softwood lumber sector and highlighted industry difficulties including low harvest levels, mill closures, and job losses.
- Currently, the tariff affects about 40% of Canadian lumber exports from British Columbia, contributing to economic challenges in the industry.
- The B.C. Conservative Party welcomed the Supreme Court ruling but criticized the justification of the tariffs on national security grounds and expressed concerns about increased uncertainty caused by the additional 10% tariff.
