' NAFTA panel sends softwood duty issue back to U.S. government Last Updated Thu, 17 Jul 2003 18:00:52 WASHINGTON - A North American Free Trade dispute panel ruled Thursday the U.S. government must reconsider the anti-dumping duties imposed on Canadian softwood lumber. The panel gave the U.S. Commerce Department 60 days to come with answers on 13 points. The panel was investigating the 8 per cent anti-dumping duty the U.S. government imposed in the spring of 2001. Canada's International Trade Minister Pierre Pettigrew welcomed the NAFTA panel decision. The federal government said the ruling states that the United States' application of anti-dumping duties on Canadian softwood lumber was inconsistent with U.S. domestic law. "The panel told the U.S. to correct its flawed determination," Pettigrew said. "Canada will continue to pursue all avenues to defend its softwood lumber industry, including its other WTO and NAFTA challenges." A second decision on countervailing duties of almost 19 per cent is due to be released on Aug. 15. A representative of U.S. consumer groups and companies applauded Thursday's decision, saying the duty amounted to a tax on homebuyers and remodelers. "This NAFTA decision is yet another in a series of rulings that reaffirm that the Department of Commerce action in imposing anti-dumping and countervailing duties on softwood lumber is wrong," Susan Petniunas, spokesperson for the American Consumers for Affordable Homes.
