The WTO dispute-resolution panel declared that the U.S. Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission were wrong in 2017 when they imposed countervailing duties on Canadian softwood lumber exports, having concluded that Canada’s regulated forestry industry amounts to an unfair subsidy for Canadian producers.
“This report is a scathing indictment of the U.S. Department of Commerce’s subsidy findings and the biased process it followed in reaching them.”U.S. trade ambassador Robert Lighthizer, long a vocal critic of the WTO’s dispute resolution system, had a different perspective. The 2017 flashpoint over countervailing duties was just the latest flare-up in a cross-border trade dispute that has raged between the two countries for nearly 40 years.
“U.S. duties on Canadian softwood lumber must not persist. They have caused unjustified harm to Canadian industry and U.S. consumers alike. U.S. home builders rely on Canadian lumber, and the current record-high lumber prices are hurting the economic recovery in both countries.”“While this decision is a victory for B.C.’s lumber producers, immediate relief is unlikely,” he said. “Our work continues until we bring an end to the unfair U.S. duties on Canadian softwood lumber exports.
