  • 2025-07678 — Certain Softwood Lumber Products From Canada: Notice of Amended Final Results of Countervailing Duty Expedited Review; Notice of Exclusion From Countervailing Duty Order
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 18957
    Reading Time:about 11 minutes

    On January 21, 2025, the U.S. Court of International Trade issued an order regarding the countervailing duty (CVD) on certain softwood lumber products from Canada. The court approved a recalculated subsidy rate of 0.88% for Fontaine, Inc., which is low enough to be considered de minimis, and decided to exclude Fontaine from the CVD order. As a result, the Department of Commerce will adjust Fontaine’s cash deposit rate to 0%, and direct Customs and Border Protection to process certain entries without regard to CVD duties if the decision is not appealed. This applies to any softwood lumber products produced and exported by Fontaine since April 28, 2017.

    Simple Explanation

    In 2025, a court decided that a Canadian company named Fontaine wouldn't have to pay extra fees on wood they sold to the U.S. because the extra fee was too small to matter. So, the U.S. government said Fontaine's wood doesn't need extra charges from as far back as 2017.

  • 2025-07681 — Temporary Steel Fencing From the People's Republic of China: Postponement of Preliminary Determination of Countervailing Duty Investigation
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 18957
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Department of Commerce is delaying the preliminary decision in a countervailing duty investigation on imports of temporary steel fencing from China. The decision was initially supposed to be made by April 10, 2025, but the timetable has been extended to June 16, 2025, because the petitioner, ZND US Inc., requested more time due to the complexity of the investigation and the number of subsidy programs involved. The final decision for the investigation is required to be 75 days after the preliminary one. This delay is in line with legal procedures that allow such extensions under certain conditions.

    Simple Explanation

    The Commerce Department is taking more time to decide about special taxes on steel fences that come from China. They need extra time because it's a big job, and there's a lot to check.
