The United States will continue to hammer imported Canadian softwood lumber, but the U.S. Commerce department said Thursday that it will impose smaller penalties than originally announced.
In its final determination, Commerce said most Canadian producers will pay a combined countervailing and anti-dumping rate of 20.83 per cent, down from 26.75 per cent in the preliminary determinations issued earlier this year.
Wow, 20.83%! That is greedy. What are the tariff levels Canada imposes on American dairy and poultry products again? How about ten times the softwood level. Maybe we could trade one against the other.
