Certain Softwood Lumber Products 

From Canada: Continuation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (Commerce) and the U.S. 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) 

orders on certain softwood lumber 

products (softwood lumber) from 

Canada would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and countervailable subsidies, and 

material injury to an industry in the 

United States, Commerce is publishing 

a notice of continuation of these AD and 

CVD orders. 

DATES: Applicable December 28, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 3, 2018, Commerce 

published in the Federal Register the 

AD and CVD orders on softwood lumber 

from Canada.1 On December 1, 2022, the 

ITC instituted,2 and Commerce 

initiated,3 the first sunset review of the 

Orders, pursuant to section 751(c) of the 

Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). 

As a result of its reviews, Commerce 

determined that revocation of the 

Orders, would likely lead to the 

continuation or recurrence of dumping 

and countervailable subsidies, and 

therefore, notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

and subsidy rates likely to prevail 

should the Orders be revoked.4

On December 28, 2023, the ITC 

published its determination, pursuant to 

sections 751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, 

that revocation of the Orders would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of material injury to an industry in the 

United States within a reasonably 

foreseeable time.5

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by the 

Orders is softwood lumber, siding, 

flooring, and certain other coniferous 

wood (softwood lumber products). The 

scope includes: 

• Coniferous wood, sawn, or chipped 

lengthwise, sliced or peeled, whether or 

not planed, whether or not sanded, or 

whether or not finger-jointed, of an 

actual thickness exceeding six 

millimeters. 

• Coniferous wood siding, flooring, 

and other coniferous wood (other than 

moldings and dowel rods), including 

strips and friezes for parquet flooring, 

that is continuously shaped (including, 

but not limited to, tongued, grooved, 

rebated, chamfered, V-jointed, beaded, 

molded, rounded) along any of its edges, 

ends, or faces, whether or not planed, 

whether or not sanded, or whether or 

not end-jointed. 

• Coniferous drilled and notched 

lumber and angle cut lumber. 

• Coniferous lumber stacked on edge 

and fastened together with nails, 

whether or not with plywood sheathing. 

• Components or parts of semifinished or unassembled finished 

products made from subject 

merchandise that would otherwise meet 

the definition of the scope above. 

Finished products are not covered by 

the scope of these Orders. For the 

purposes of this scope, finished 

products contain, or are comprised of, 

subject merchandise and have 

undergone sufficient processing such 

that they can no longer be considered 

intermediate products, and such 

products can be readily differentiated 

from merchandise subject to these 

Orders at the time of importation. Such 

differentiation may, for example, be 

shown through marks of special 

adaptation as a particular product. The 

following products are illustrative of the

type of merchandise that is considered 

‘‘finished’’ for the purpose of this scope: 

I-joists; assembled pallets; cutting 

boards; assembled picture frames; 

garage doors. 

The following items are excluded 

from the scope of these Orders: 

• Softwood lumber products certified 

by the Atlantic Lumber Board as being 

first produced in the Provinces of 

Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova 

Scotia, or Prince Edward Island from 

logs harvested in Newfoundland and 

Labrador, Nova Scotia, or Prince 

Edward Island. 

• U.S.-origin lumber shipped to 

Canada for processing and imported 

into the United States if the processing 

occurring in Canada is limited to one or 

more of the following: (1) kiln drying; 

(2) planing to create smooth-to-size 

board; or (3) sanding. 

• Box-spring frame kits if they 

contain the following wooden pieces— 

two side rails, two end (or top) rails and 

varying numbers of slats. The side rails 

and the end rails must be radius-cut at 

both ends. The kits must be individually 

packaged and must contain the exact 

number of wooden components needed 

to make a particular box-spring frame, 

with no further processing required. 

None of the components exceeds 1′′ in 

actual thickness or 83′′ in length. 

• Radius-cut box-spring-frame 

components, not exceeding 1′′ in actual 

thickness or 83′′ in length, ready for 

assembly without further processing. 

The radius cuts must be present on both 

ends of the boards and must be 

substantially cut so as to completely 

round one corner. 

Softwood lumber product imports are 

generally entered under Chapter 44 of 

the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS). This chapter of 

the HTSUS covers ‘‘Wood and articles 

of wood.’’ Softwood lumber products 

that are subject to these Orders are 

currently classifiable under the 

following ten-digit HTSUS subheadings

Continuation of the Orders 

As a result of the determinations by 

Commerce and the ITC that revocation 

of the Orders would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of dumping, 

countervailable subsidies, and material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States, pursuant to section 751(d)(2) of 

the Act, Commerce hereby orders the 

continuation of the Orders. U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect AD and CVD cash 

deposits at the rates in effect at the time 

of entry for all imports of subject 

merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the Orders is December 28, 2023.6

Pursuant to section 751(c)(2) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.218(c)(2), Commerce 

intends to initiate the next five-year 

reviews of the Orders not later than 30 

days prior to fifth anniversary of the 

date of the last determination by the 

ITC. 

Administrative Protective Order (APO) 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to parties subject to an APO of 

their responsibility concerning the 

return or destruction of proprietary 

information disclosed under APO in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), 

which continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of APO materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order, is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

These five-year (sunset) reviews and 

this notice are in accordance with 

sections 751(c) and 751(d)(2) of the Act 

and published in accordance with 

section 777(i) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(f)(4).
