The U.S. Government

For many years, the U.S. and Canada have battled softwood lumber prices. In 2002, the Bush administration imposed tariffs of 27 percent on lumber coming into the U.S from Canada and the duties were eventually reduced to 11 percent after a series of appeals and litigation. An agreement has been reached by the two governments that will end all litigation between the two countries over the softwood lumber dispute. As well, $4 billion of the $5 billion in tariffs collected by the U.S. will be returned to Canadian producers. [SPOKESMAN REVIEW]
