US – Canada Softwood Lumber Agreement Expires October 12th

US Customs and Border Protection will end the Softwood Lumber agreement that began in 2006 between the United States and Canada. This will end the requirements for export permits, region of origin, and the original maritime certificate of origin. However, the Softwood Lumber Agreement of 2008 reporting requirements for softwood lumber and softwood lumber products from any country will still be enforced.
