This book was released on 2017-07-20 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Softwood lumber imports from Canada have been a persistent concern for Congress for decades. Canada is an important trading partner for the United States, but lumber production is a significant industry in many states. U.S. lumber producers claim they are at an unfair competitive disadvantage in the domestic market against Canadian lumber producers because of Canada's timber pricing policies. This has resulted in five major disputes (so-called lumber wars) between the United States and Canada since the 1980s. The current dispute (Lumber V) started when the 2006 Softwood Lumber Agreement (SLA) expired on October 12, 2015. Under that agreement, Canadian softwood lumber shipped to the United States was subject to export charges and quota limitations when the price of U.S. softwood products fell below a certain level. After a year-long grace period, a coalition of U.S. lumber producers filed trade remedy petitions on November 25, 2016, which claim that Canadian firms dump lumber in the U.S. market and that Canadian provincial forestry policies subsidize Canadian lumber production. These petitions subsequently were accepted by the two agencies that administer the trade remedy process: the International Trade Commission (ITC) and the International Trade Administration (ITA). In a preliminary determination on April 24, 2017, the ITA determined that the Canadian industry was subsidized and then imposed preliminary countervailing duties upward of 20% on Canadian lumber. Final determinations are due by September. Tension between the United States and Canada over the softwood lumber trade has been persistent and may be inevitable. Both countries have extensive forest resources, but they have quite different population levels and development pressures. Vast stretches of Canada are still largely undeveloped, whereas relatively fewer areas in the United States (outside Alaska) remain undeveloped. These differences have contributed to different forest management policies. For decades, U.S. lumber producers have argued that they have been injured by subsidies given to their Canadian competitors in the form of lost market share and lost revenue. In the United States, the majority of the timberlands are privately owned; private markets dominate the allocation and pricing of timber, although federally owned forests are regionally significant. In Canada, forests are largely owned by the provincial governments and leased to private firms. The provinces establish the price of timber through a stumpage fee, a per unit volume fee charged for the right to harvest trees. U.S. lumber producers argue that the stumpage fees charged by the Canadian provinces are subsidized, or priced at less than their market value, providing an unfair competitive advantage in supplying the U.S. lumber market. The Canadian provinces and lumber producers dispute the subsidy allegations. Directly comparing Canadian and U.S. lumber prices is difficult and often inconclusive, however, due to major differences in tree species, sizes, and grades; measurement systems; requirements for harvesters; environmental protection; and other factors. The softwood lumber trade between the United States and Canada is of interest to Congress due to the controversy between Canadian and U.S. lumber producers and the larger implications it might have on trade between the two countries. The potential renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) may provide Congress an opportunity to weigh in on this issue, given its constitutional authority over trade policy, as well as authority granted under the 2015 Trade Promotion Authority (TPA). Congress may consider legislation or conduct oversight on these issues.

Book excerpt: Since 1982, Canada and the United States have been involved in disputes over trade in softwood lumber. This report first provides background on the nature of the disputes, which have taken the form of countervailing duty cases and anti-dumping investigations, and the roles & responsibilities of those involved. It then outlines the history of three previous countervailing duty cases started by the US Department of Commerce and the 1996 softwood lumber agreement. The current softwood lumber dispute that followed expiry of the 1996 agreement in 2001 is reviewed with reference to countervailing duty & anti-dumping cases, the Department of Commerce's final determination, negotiations to assess alternatives to litigation to resolve the dispute, and challenges under the North American Free Trade Agreement and the World Trade Organization. The final section reviews market diversification & advocacy activities in Canada that are being undertaken in response to softwood lumber duties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to develop and employ an economic supply-and-demand framework to examine, assess, and describe trends in softwood lumber price levels and regional market shares, and to provide some analysis of the underlying economic processes that resulted in the price, consumption, and market share trends which occurred through the 1970-early 1990s period. The analytical framework is used to isolate the effects of particular determinants on observed market indicators, and to evaluate how and why supply and demand have evolved. Subjects examined include real price trends in lumber and US consumption, Canadian exports to the US and the Canadian share of the US market, shifts in North American supply and demand curves with regard to such factors as technological change and competition for roundwood, and structural change in the softwood lumber market.
