More Canadian lumber hit with heavy U.S. duties
Article Abstract:
Canadian-made rougher header lumber and notched studs faced new import duties of up to US$106 per 1,000 board-feet. The move by the US Customs Service could mean the cost of the two key Canadian products can add of up to a third. The Canadian government is calling on the US to delay such a move until a case accusing the Americans of violating the North American free-trade agreement is resolved.
