Canada Softwood Lumber: Amended Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department is amending the final results published July 29 of the antidumping administrative review on softwood lumber products from Canada (A-122-857). The agency heard from Canfor and West Fraser, the mandatory respondents in the review that pointed out errors in a calculation Commerce used in arriving at the AD rates, after the final results for setting assessments of AD on importers for subject merchandise entered Jan. 1, 2023, through Dec. 31, 2023, were published.

Commerce agreed with Canfor's allegations and corrected the ministerial error, and relatedly revised the AD rate calculated for the non-examined companies subject to the review.
The AD rate for Canfor is therefore revised from 35.53% to 35.47%. The average rate for the non-examined companies changes from 20.56% to 20.53%.
Commerce didn't agree with West Fraser's allegations, so its AD rate of 9.65% won't change.
The new rates are effective Sept. 11.
The notice also corrected the names of two companies on the list of 259 companies not selected for individual examination (see the Appendix to the notice of amendment for the list containing incorporated corrections). “Kings Wood Products Linc.” becomes “Kings Wood Products Inc.” and “Trans-Pacific Trading Ltd.” becomes “TRAPA Forest Products Ltd.”
(The review period is 01/01/23 - 12/31/23. See Commerce's notice for more information, including detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2507280044 for a summary of the original final results and 2503050036 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
