World Trade Organization reviewing US softwood lumber duties
The World Trade Organization has agreed to establish two panels to examine Canada’s complaint about duties imposed by the United States on softwood lumber imports, reports CBC.
The Canadian government requested the WTO on March 27 to set up a panel to examine the dispute after consultations with the United States in January failed to resolve the matter. The country also requested a second panel to review the US’s use of differential pricing methodology in its anti-dumping determinations. The United States objected to these requests.
According to the US, the anti-dumping duties are fully consistent with its obligations under the WTO agreements, which Canada argued it weren’t.
