Canadian Lumber Firms Treated As One
The Department of Commerce found that Interfor Sales & Marketing Ltd. (ISM) is cross-owned with Interfor Corporation, EACOM Timber Corporation, Chaleur Forest Products Inc., and Chaleur Forest Products LP for the countervailing duty (CVD) order on certain softwood lumber from Canada. These companies will be treated as a single group when applying countervailing duties, so businesses dealing with imports from them should expect changes in how duties are applied.
