商务部敲定加拿大软木第七轮复审：双反税率降至24.75% 叠加232关税总负担34.75% 10月19日生效
华盛顿——美国商务部（Department of Commerce）10月13日敲定对加拿大软木反倾销与反补贴税令的第七轮行政复审最终结果：未被单独审查企业的双反合计税率降至24.75%，新税率将于10月19日《联邦公报》刊登后生效。
本轮复审覆盖2024年进口的加拿大软木。最终税率中，反补贴税为14.11%（此前为14.63%），反倾销税为10.64%（此前为20.53%），合计24.75%，较上一轮的35.16%明显下调。三家被单独审查企业的倾销税率分别为 Canfor 17%、Resolute 13.13%、West Fraser 4.71%。不过，特朗普政府依据《贸易扩展法》第232条另行征收的10%木材关税维持不变，加拿大软木进入美国市场的总负担为34.75%，此前为45.16%。
加拿大供应约85%的美国软木进口量、约占美国软木总供应的四分之一，税率直接牵动美国住宅建设成本。全美住宅建筑商协会（NAHB）10月16日表示，下调是「朝着正确方向的一步」，但34.75%的总负担仍然压低住房可负担性，协会继续敦促政府暂停对全部建材的关税、并尽快与加拿大谈判新的软木协议。美国木材联盟则对裁定表示欢迎，执行董事 Zoltan van Heyningen 称，商务部的结果「再次确认加拿大仍在进行不公平贸易」。
Commerce Finalizes Seventh Softwood Lumber Review: Combined Duties Fall to 24.75%, 34.75% With Section 232 Tariff, Effective Oct. 19
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Commerce on October 13 issued the final results of its seventh administrative reviews of the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on Canadian softwood lumber, setting the combined rate for non-selected companies at 24.75%. The new rates take effect upon publication in the Federal Register on October 19.
The reviews cover Canadian softwood lumber imported during calendar year 2024. The final countervailing duty rate is 14.11%, down from 14.63%, and the final antidumping rate is 10.64%, down from 20.53% — a combined 24.75%, down from 35.16% in the prior review. Dumping rates for the three individually examined producers are 17% for Canfor, 13.13% for Resolute and 4.71% for West Fraser. A separate 10% tariff on timber and softwood lumber imposed under Section 232 remains in place, bringing the total burden on Canadian lumber to 34.75%, down from 45.16%.
Canada supplies about 85% of U.S. softwood lumber imports and roughly a quarter of total U.S. supply, so the rates feed directly into home-building costs. The National Association of Home Builders said on October 16 that the cut is a step in the right direction but that a 34.75% total burden continues to undermine housing affordability, and it renewed its call to suspend tariffs on all building materials and negotiate a new softwood lumber agreement with Canada. The U.S. Lumber Coalition welcomed the decision; its executive director, Zoltan van Heyningen, said the Commerce Department had "reaffirmed that Canada continues to trade unfairly."
