    The U.S. Department of Commerce published a notice in the Federal Register correcting an error in the final results of the 2019 review regarding antidumping duties on softwood lumber from Canada. Originally, the notice stated that the all-others rate was 6.58 percent, but it has now been corrected to 6.04 percent. This correction ensures that the accurate rate from the less than fair value investigation is documented correctly. The notice was issued following the guidelines in the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

    Simple Explanation

    The government made a mistake in their paperwork about how much extra tax should be on some wood from Canada. They first said the extra tax was 6.58%, but they checked again and fixed it to the right number, 6.04%.

This finding is related to a review of a countervailing duty (CVD) order on softwood lumber imported from Canada, which is a type of tax imposed to counteract subsidies provided to foreign producers. Interested parties are encouraged to comment on these findings, and the final results will be published within 270 days from the start of this review. The current duty requirements for these companies will not change until the review is completed.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has determined that TRAPA Forest Products Ltd. (TRAPA) is the successor to Trans-Pacific Trading Ltd. concerning the countervailing duty order on certain softwood lumber from Canada. As a result, TRAPA will now be subject to the same cash deposit rate of 6.74% that previously applied to Trans-Pacific. This decision follows the Department's preliminary findings, and no objections were raised against it. Consequently, all shipments of applicable products by TRAPA will adopt this rate moving forward.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. government decided that TRAPA Forest Products is now like a new version of another company called Trans-Pacific for special trade rules about wood from Canada. This means TRAPA now has to pay the same extra tax (6.74%) on their wood that Trans-Pacific did.

    The U.S. Department of Commerce has finalized its decision in a review about the relationship between several companies involved in softwood lumber imports from Canada. The department has determined that Interfor Sales & Marketing Ltd. (ISM) is cross-owned with several other corporations, including Interfor Corporation and EACOM Timber Corporation. This means they share ownership stakes, but it does not affect the cash deposit rates for these companies. The findings were unchanged from earlier results and, since there were no objections, have been adopted as final.

    Simple Explanation

    The U.S. Department of Commerce figured out that a group of companies that sell lumber from Canada are sort of like a big family because they share ownership ties, but this doesn't change how much money they need to set aside for possible taxes.
