On June 30th, the Federal Register posted the preliminary determination in the anti-dumping (AD) investigation of imports of softwood lumber from Canada.  This is a determination that companies have sold softwood lumber into the Customs territory of the United States at less than fair market value.  Therefore, additional duties will be assessed on these products. Additionally, the US Department of Commerce found ‘critical circumstances’ in this case.  This additional determination will result in this additional duty being assessed on entries 90 days prior to the June 30th publication.
