US Imposing 20.56% Anti-Dumping Duties on Canadian Softwood
UNITED STATES, JUL 26 – The 20.56% duty aims to protect U.S. lumber workers and boost domestic production capacity, which has increased by 8.8 billion board feet since 2016, officials said.
- On July 25, 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced a 20.56 percent duty rate, marking its sixth annual review of Canadian softwood lumber imports.
- Over 20 percent predatory pricing, Andrew Miller said, while the U.S. Department of Commerce cited market disruption from Canada's unfair trading in the 2023 review.
- U.S. mills have added 8.8 billion board feet of capacity since 2016, offsetting import declines and providing enough lumber to build two million single-family homes.
- Warning that workers and communities are harmed, the BC Council of Forest Industries condemned the duty increase, noting impacts across British Columbia and Canada while Andrew Miller added the U.S. will no longer absorb Canada's excess capacity.
- Increased capacity now enables the United States to supply the vast majority of its lumber needs, U.S. Lumber Coalition said it supports the move, and this enhances U.S. self-reliance.
