04:36 PM EDT, 07/25/2025 (MT Newswires) -- The U.S. Department of Commerce announced Friday its final decision in the sixth administrative review of the antidumping duty order on softwood lumber from Canada.

A statement noted that administrative reviews are conducted once a year at the request of an interested party after an antidumping duty or countervailing duty order is put into effect. This review covers imports of softwood lumber from Canada that entered into the United States during the period of January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023.

In a statement the Department of Commerce said it had determined that softwood lumber from Canada was being dumped into the United States at rates ranging from 9.65% to 35.53%. It added these final rates are, on average, larger than the final antidumping rates determined in the previous administrative review, but in line with Commerce's preliminary results from March 2025. It noted tthe final rate for non-selected companies, which applies to most Canadian companies, increased to 20.56%, up from 7.66% determined in the previous administrative review.

Commerce said it will now instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to begin collecting duties at the rates outlined in Commerce's final results. Commerce is scheduled to announce the final decision in the administrative review of the countervailing duty order, covering calendar year 2023, on August 8, 2025.
