The US is expected to be more than a dual tax, which it collects from the imports of coniferous lumber from Canada, and the planned new rate is 34.45 percent, compared to the previous 14.54 percent.
Until the initial determination was sent immediately in the US Federal Register, it was approved in statements by the BC Prime Minister’s Office and the US Lumber Coalition.
The new screw timber sawn timber was long enjoyed in the growing trade war between Canada and the US, and would be the last blow to the BC’s reduced forestry industry, which has been fired in recent years.
BC Prime Minister David Ebby announced on Saturday’s scheduled hike as “an attack on forest workers and the British Colombians”.
Watch EBY to drive to coniferous lumber industry:
Although Canada had probably spared additional tariffs on Wednesday, the excitement of the fees in the BC coniferous lumber industry is still high. According to Katie Derosa, Prime Minister David Ebby hopes to draw federal attention to this issue as the forest industry meets to discuss its reliance on the US
“In Canada, the duties of coniferous sawn timber, combined with additional US tariffs and other trade activities, have united Canadians,” he wrote.
“We have friends and family in the United States who need Canadian lumber to create or renovate their homes, and both Canadians and Americans need to end this trade dispute.”
According to the US Tariff Law, the Department of Commerce determines whether the goods are sold less than at true value or whether they benefit from subsidies provided by foreign governments.
In Canada, lumber-producing provinces determine the so-called strain fees for timber harvested from the Crown Land-System, which US manufacturers have to pay market rates to consider unfair subsidy.
Indeed, the US coalition, which represents the manufacturers of coniferous lumber in this country, welcomed the planned increase in their planned duties on Friday.
“This dishonest trading practice has been developed by Canada to maintain Canadian product artificially increasing US market share and forcing US companies to reduce production, thus killing US work,” said Coalition President Andrew Miller.
Eby to meet with PM
CBC News has contacted Canada’s global affairs to find out if the Federal Government plans to take countermeasures against the planned duties.
In August 2024, when the responsibilities were raised from 8.05 percent to 14.54 percent, the Federal Government had stated that it would fight tariffs in the US International Trade Court and the World Trade Organization.
Watch BC forest industry in threats:
The BC forest industry is already in trouble, and the war of US President Donald Trump is moving it closer to the scope of the collapse. CBC Lyndsay Duncombe divides what is on the game of lumber and how they want to adapt.
Ebby said the BC government would cooperate with the Forest Sector and the Federal Government to combat the responsibilities “through the roads available to us”.
“I met with the Prime Minister on Monday … and plan to raise this issue with him,” the Prime Minister said.
“The BC staff and their families are dependent on the jobs on which these tariffs are targeted, and we are looking forward to seeing the same Canadian team approach to their protection, just like in automotive and steel industrial work on Ontario and Quebec.”
The United States has long been the only largest BC sawn timber export market that is more than half the market About $ 10 billion industryIn the area
But given a number of challenges for the provincial forestry industry – including the invasion of mountain pine beetles, which killed hundreds of thousands of trees, the mill has been closed around the province in recent years, and the largest forestry companies open new mills in the United States.
In 2023, the Canadian figures showed that BC had lost more than 40,000 forest sector work since the early 1990s.
